[QUOTE="Glock119, post: 62207, member: 3218"] 3" at 25yds is not too shabby, you should see some of the folks that come in and use the range 2 days prior to season. I love the whiskerbiscuit and have it on my hunting rig that I also shoot in our league with. I have a few guys that also think it should cause some disturbances with the arrow but that has not been my experience. I typically shoot in the 420-435 range with an average of 427 so far this yr. I have found that almost anything with a helical design to it normally does not do so well with whiskers. I use xx78's 2315 for both uses. I also fletched mine straight and put cock feather up to avoid clearance problems with the lower section of biscuit. If you are able to paper tune at the longer ranges, start at 5yds and paper tune back to the 50 yrd mark in intervals of 5 yds. you should be able to get good holes out to that range. If not and you have look at all the other most common problems try to look at your forward point of balance. This is something that the shops don't do or even look at and many of them don't even know about. I keep mine right at 9% which I have found to be the best for my setup. This can make a significant impact on your arrow flight if done correctly as part of the final tuning process. I have seen where after several techs had tried to tune a bow that was giving a 4" rip that by using this process, I noticed the tip weight needed to be reduced to get a point of center that I was happy with, and after several minutes of trying to convincing customer that they have nothing to loose by trying it my way, that we were able to retune bow with lighter tip arrow that now shot bullet holes at 5, 10, 15 and 20 yrds. And now I have another loyal customer, just because I was willing to take the time to try everything. Good luck to ya, Ben [/QUOTE]
