View Full Version : What is the feeling on the Whisker Biscuit and Thunder Head
What do you think of the Whisker Biscuit :?:
I just installed one on my bow but unfortunately have not had the opportunity to shoot with it yet.
One of the reasons that I installed the W.B. is that I tried to shoot Thunderhead 125's, & Carbon Express Arrows, on my old set up [Micro Adjust Rest] the arrows were every where except where I wanted.
So it was back to Aluminium Arrows and my trusty T.H. 125"s.
Maybe the set up I have now will do nothing to correct this problem
feedback welcome. :?:

The biscuit is a good rest, but you will still need to tune it ilke any other rest if you want good flight.When I reviewed it I had no trouble tuning it to shoot fieldpoints and broadheads from 75 to 125 grains all to the same point out to 30 yards.
I appreciate the W.B. site address had a visit , thanks lots for the
feedback :)

the whisker biscuits are a great rest we have lots of guys shooting them.plasticpal is right you still gotta tune.thunderheads however are not one of my favorite broadheads.we have seen enough guys have flight problems with them.i think there is a lot of other broadheads out hter now that handle higher speeds,like what you problably got when you went from alunimum to carbon arrows,better than thunder heads. wasp sst camloks,muzzy,rocky mountain iron heads,montec just to mention a few.properly spined arrows can make a huge difference especially with broadheads.

Thunder heads are not my first choice either, but they will fly good.I have tuned for them at over 300FPS, without difficulty.With any head they must be tuned, no way around it.Sometimes you can get everything righrt and a bow will shoot everything you put on the string to the same point, however often we can only get 1 or 2 diferent heads to fly to the same point of impact.It is sometimes just a minute adjustment that makes a bow shoot the all the same, or possibly a shooter is to inconsistent in his release to obtain this.
Pick one type and tune it to perfection at 20 yards with field points., then try another type and tune the bow to shoot it to the same point.when all three are the same most others will also be in there too.If another type is not grouping spin test them ,and also switch them to the arrows that were grouping together.this will tell you a lot about why.

Max2,
I have been hunting with Thunder Head 100 grain now for about 10 years..They're the only broadhead that I will use...I used to shot aluminum arrows, 2315, 2413, 2314 and with aluminums of course they tuned in seconds...I switched last year to ICS Camo Hunter 340...In making my decision to go to carbon it wasn't so much speed but that fact I didn't have to worry about the arrows bending and not knowing they were bent..(not nice)..My decision to go to ICS Camo Hunter was because I tried to keep the arrow diameter and grains-per-inch as close as possible to my aluminum set-up...I new I had good arrow speed, kinetic engergy, and the thunder heads flew great with this combo...Well guess what...I think I may have only shot three arrows while paper tuning my TH's...Maybe check out your point-of-centre, and arrow weight vs diameter....

I shoot the whisker biscuit and Thunderhead 125gr. I just nailed a doe and had a complete passthrough. Make sure you paper tune the biscuit the best you can otherwise your arrow flight will be alot different than your feild points. I learnt this the hard way and with the help of many ppl on this forum, I was able to correct the problem quickly.
