"Top Shot" --The History Channel

[fasteddie]

Top Shot is on at 10 pm tonight on the History Channel .........

"Compound Fracture"

The contestants' archery skills are put to the test with a modern compound bow; tubular team challenge; tensions with team leadership threaten to unravel the group.

Should be a fun one to watch, couldnt believe that results of the last show

[jimbo91]

I love this show

[jimbo91]

Hey anyone that watched the sow tonight, where would i get the type of whisker biscuit they were using, the three pronged one?

[fasteddie]

I didn't notice the rest on the bow but ....  Bowtech uses their "Hostage" rest on bows . It looks like a modified Whisker Biscuit .

[jimbo91]

I assume thats it, they were shooting bowtech bows, thanks a lot eddie

[Pat Rockets]

Ive never been a traditional guy...that said...im thinkin of adding a whisker buiscuit to my recurve. Id like it so i can use my carbons, and i still hunt 90% and keep one knocked while on the move. I already put a string loop for my release on it. I kno right now traditional guys are grindin their teeth...but im all about consistancy. Those are helpful tools.

Reality TV is for drama queens

I like the concept of the show and the folks that think up the challenges, hats off to them.

I don't watch it because of all the "Little Sally" drama that goes along with it.....................................give me a break.

I have been using the open top, brush rest for two seasons now............................I love it.  Way better than my old Whisker Bisquit ever thought of being.

I have used the original and newer Whisker Biscuit rests with excellent results . I switched to Drop Aways when I started using Kwik Spin vanes because they have a small tab on them . Never had an arrow fall off of a WB ! http://www.downsouthhuntingforums.com/images/smiles/beer.gif[/img]

Just out of curiousity, why do feel it is better than a WB? I ask because I have two of them in the basement not in use, I use a WB and took the Hostage rest's off both my wife and my bow's. Does it perform better? I admit I never gave it a half a chance...haha

[WNYBuckHunter]

The thing you have to watch with those hostage rests, is that the bottom brush wears down rather quickly and they fall out of tune. Regular WBs dont have that issue as much and wear down at a much slower rate.

Another good show Eddie is AWA Whitetail pro series. If you havent seen it you should check it out.

I am using the NAP Quiktune 360, has an adj. nylon arrow guide pad on the bottom and the two brushes located at 10 & 2 o'clock positions.

Why???  Far less contact with the arrow shaft and zero interferrence with the fletches.

Here is the link to the rest I currently use:

I think when I wear out my WB I will have to give it a try, thanks for the info.

[Bballhunter11]

I put a Rip cord on my bow last season and love it benefits of a WB that an arrow cant fall out and benefits of a drop away, no contact with arrow.  Word to the wise though stay away from NAP Tri van only cause u headaches until they come out with multiple fixes.

[Karpteach]

Love the show. Crazy arrow shots. I also switched from a WB to a Ripcord. Love it!! Was having issues with the vanes peeling from my Carbon arrows.

[WNYBuckHunter]

I like the WB, no moving parts, less to break and only costs 1 or 2 fps. When I fletch my arrows, I put a tiny dab of glue at the front tip of the vane where it meets the arrow. I have zero issues with any peeling.

[Bballhunter11]

Same here western, guy i fletch arrows for has made a comment to me before that his vanes tear before they come off the shaft when i make his arrows. Thats good adhesive. I enjoyed the show but felt it was a little painful to watch there skill level with a bow lol 

[fasteddie]

I never had a problem with fletching while shooting the WB . I was shooting Blazer Vanes but wanted to switch to Kwik spins so I changed rests . I put a GS Expert on my Parker and a Trophy Ridge Drop Zone on my Pearson TX-4 . I can shoot the Kwik Spins as well as the FOBs .

I tried a QAD Ultra rest but didn't like it .

As far as the whiskers touching the arrow shafts , no big deal plus you only lose 2 - 3 FPS so it's minimal .
