[QUOTE="jon.henry755, post: 530591, member: 29115"] Hi Len, The Whisker Biscuit becomes stiffer as temperatures drop, so unless you are using something like the product "Venom" which is a combination lubricant and waterproofing, the Whisker Biscuits can absorb dampness and become brittle or frozen when the temps drop below the freezing mark. This alters performance and increases wear and tear on the rest. As I'm also sure you're aware the Whisker Biscuit Assembly has screws which are loosened and tightened to make adjustments for center shot alignment and paper tuning. While this is a possible means of performing adjustments, it's by no means an optimal way to do so. No competitive archer would ever consider this as an acceptable means to achieve perfect tuning or adjust-ability. Really good competition type arrow rests will always have separate micro-adjustments with measurement scales for both windage and elevation adjustments. These devices don't come standard on any bow, so they're strictly after market additions, but worth every penny considering the fact that they take the guess work out of tuning and adjusting ones arrow rest and they allow the shooter to make precise consistent micro-tweaks that can be repeated any time by using the calibration scales on the adjustments. These rests have no real wear areas and are not subject to temperature changes. They can't apply friction to a shaft because most drop away through either spring tension or collapse via their rope connections. The key is developing an affordable bracket that will support these types of rests, so they can be adapted to the TAC15's. The Whisker Biscuit was designed as a cheap and dirty rest for hunters and for the most part it servers that purpose, but that's where it's usefulness ends when compared to really good arrow rests. Is that enough information on this subject or is there something else I can help you with? Regards, Jon [/QUOTE]
