Dude, this was a throughout explanation and demonstration. As a teacher I am really impressed on your delivery.

[@stevensantiago0329]

Just bought me my first compound bow and ordered a whisker biscuit that just came in so I’m glad I came across your vid! Now I know what my next step is

[@danielruprecht8932]

I think Average Jack is a middle school teacher too. Definitely a thorough lesson 👍🎯

[@sahhull]

Its always a good plan to use 3 fletched and 3 bare shafts rather than 1. Theres always the risk that if you chose one shaft, that could be the one that flies funny.

[@justinnieman8724]

you do a really good job explaining everything, just getting started here with compounds after hunting crossbow for nearly 15 years. keep up the good work

[@carlwalker8291]

i know you all won't think this is true, but i backed over my bow a few days ago, Centered it. After replacing and bending back in place a few parts, i followed this video. With my new whisker biscuit assembly, quiver that was broken in half and a repaired brand new site i just purchased in the beginning of the season. I managed to tune it all back to zero. Being honest i was a little worried about the first shot. The main bow didn't seem to be bent, so i figured what the heck. Its broken, all i can do is try. Been shooting a bow for a long long time and never tuned one. Always took it to an archery shop. Figured they would just try to sell me a new one, so i said what the hey, give it a whirl.Thanks Average Jack, your helpful video's are priceless.

[@theretiredbear]

Very well illustrated! I love your videos as I said in an earlier post. You keep it simple, well spoken and dead on. I think after watching this one I’m gonna switch to a Whisker, I like the idea of it securing it in place, would make it easier going from tree hanger to shooting position.

[@joelow6086]

I'm still using the old PSE prong horn arrow rest which allows micro adjustment left or right as well as spring tension. It works perfectly for me and I have no issue on vane clearance. Whiskers biscuit arrow rest don't last very long and need replacement from time to time but its easy to load an arrow. Thank you for your video and all the best for 2022..

But thank you for these Videos your awesome God Bless you an your family.

[@YankeeWoodcraft]

If a hunter can't take a deer at under 40 yards with a whisker biscuit, it's definitely not the arrow, it's the indian. I went back to a nearly maintenance/issue-free whisker biscuit on my Mathews Z2 after my drop away failed me enough times and am very happy with it.

[@theguyinmaine]

Thank you Jack! I always come here to remember the whisker biscuit information. My first tournament is next week and I'm grouping great with bareshaft + fletched, but my bareshafts are nock high and right. Your video will fix it :)

When I got my used Hoyt Prevail, I shot it with a used whisker biscuit. While people looked at the setup all weird, it still shot great!

[@alexchallinor86]

I am new to archery/bow hunting, bought an Ek Rex (Archery Research) i just came across this video n wish i did a week ago, i have been learning to tune my bow to me n spent way too long trying to figure it from the shop settings. So i took it all apart n spent hours tuning it through the site alone because i didnt know that about the knock point or whisker biscuit adjustment, but i must of got very lucky with where i set up the whisker biscuit (by eye 👁) because it shoots dead straight n leaves bullet holes with 3 perfect little tears. I have a 5 pin site with each interval at 10m, i am now grouping within 8" at 50m (54.6 yards) so im putting the rest down to my own steadiness 😅 Love ur videos n they are realy helping me understand my bow. Im going to change to a fall away style rest, but now knowing this information im not dreading the new tuning time, so thankyou for being so informative!

[@user-ii1iy8fz1d]

[@dragonslayer1296]

So I started getting back into archery after 30 years away from it... it has changed quite a bit... so after 5 years I have my setup that works for me... alot of info I got from you... alot I had to learn myself... the biggest pain in the butt was switching from field points to broadheads and my accuracy was way off all of a sudden .... accidentally had a 2 inch fletch ( opposed to a 3 inch) and boom whaddya know fist size groupings with points and broadheads... great channel brother ! Now I just gotta figure out how to see more deer in bow range.... that's much harder than I was expecting on public land in coastal south carolina... I see deer everywhere outside the woods on public land... on wma properties???? They disappear after opening day archery season... don't care still love being in the woods and like the fetching ill figure it out.... thanks for all you do definately helps !

[@cackalacky_outdoors4959]

Heyyyyy im hunting public in lower coastal sc😂

[@Roh_Echt]

I came to view this for the past troubles I experienced myself with bareshaft tuning a bow having a W/B. I would suggest skipping bare-shaft tuning for a W/B rest. I worked on bare-shaft tuning for a good amount of time, even portions of days, and the bare arrow always tilted upward a bit in the target...even though I did get both arrows to be side by side *(just as he mentions in the vid; "the nock tilting upward").* It would become worse when trying to adjust for its tilting. And I even went from a 0.32" medium hole biscuit (for a 0.30" diameter arrow) to the 0.38" large hole biscuit. So, and you might do so too, I eventually left it as good as I could get it. Chalking it all up to the shooting of one arrow w/o vanes and another w/vanes through the biscuit. And also for not being sure if it has to do with the reduction of rear weight, minus the vanes, and a resulting change in F.O.C... Or just because there are no vanes passing through the whiskers on the one arrow. I suppose adding matching weight, using tape, to a bare arrow might make a difference; and may be worthy of trying. But after days of working on this; to correct the upward tilt...I just gave up spending any more time doing this. So I then went straight to "broadhead tuning" and got it dialed in much quicker (less than 20 minutes); shooting arrows, with both field and blade tips, with vanes on them. I do miss my drop-away rests. But I switched to the W/B years ago after losing my fingers on my bow hand (work accident); and after an arrow tapping on the riser cost me a shot at a bull...for no finger to hold the arrow in its saddle on the shelf. I am considering another bow w/drop-away to use for when 3D shooting. When I need not worry about any such noise ruining my day/season. I would suggest, if you use the bow for hunting, to just go straight to broadhead tuning. And perhaps reserve bare-shaft tuning for a bow you only mean to target shoot with...and with a different rest. Even then I, personally, would likely broadhead tune the bow before going, and using it, to target shoot. It just makes it easier and quicker by eliminating this process. I do still nock tune all bare-shafts through paper before adding vanes; this after having it well tuned prior.

[@doughosig6798]

thanks Nate; followed your instructions: just shot 4 at 20 yards to test your system out.... 4 arrows touching!! never did that beofre!! IT WORKS!!

[@richardofoz2167]

Perfect! I shoot instinctive with a long bow, but my wife just switched to a compound and I'm trying to figure out how to get her dialed in. I know nothing about compounds! Haha! Thanks to this video, we're pretty much dialed in now! Thanks, man!

[@nikolasshay3294]

I know this video is really old but I thought I would mention for people who are trying to bareshaft tune. Part of the reason you are getting the slight nock high is because you are shooting at a downward angle. When I bareshaft I try to shoot with my target off the ground to where I'm shooting straight. Most of the time I actually shoot through paper because it's easier to see the tear but sometimes I don't have the time or the setup

[@tommypenny6339]

His draw length is a tad too short also, that's why he's getting that punch at release.

Great job explaining this man. new sub

[@outdoorswithcharlie6431]

Good video. I had my local pro shop install the Trophy Ridge Sure Shot Pro whisker biscuit on a Revolt X and tune it for me. I chose the biscuit over a drop away due to the arrow retention of the biscuit. Haven't sighted the bow out past 30 yards yet, but the arrows are flying straight and producing tight groups. I'm shooting a 29" Gold Tip Hunter XL 300 with a 100 gr brass insert and 100 gr field tip. I've seen a few of your other videos and like your style, giving you a subscribe. . .look forward to more videos.

[@topJimmyP1984]

Thanks for the video. I will try this tuning method. I'm shooting a whisker biscuit and having troubles with the speed Fletching steering my arrow, especially with fixed blade broadheads. My old setup using fixed 2 blades, standard 4" vanes with aggressive helical worked. I switched to the longer 4" vanes with minimal twist angle available these days and it is better but I still have a flyer occasionally, any recommendations? thanks. I tried using mechanical broadheads but are concerned they may not fly like field points and prefer to practice with my broadheads.

[@jeremytaylor7169]

Instead of fighting with the whisker biscuit (its should be flush and firm to the frame) it was a he'll of alot easier to just move the D Loop, just twist it while working it to were u need with an arrow knocked on

[@stevenellis9801]

Great information as usual bro. Appreciate it, very helpful.

[@DropShop27]

Question, does it matter if the target is on the ground or should it be elevated to chest height or so. Also when adjusting height are you saying field point should chase the knock. As in if knock high then raise the whisker biscuit up some? Thanks for your help in advance

[@isaiahtolo9819]

this is really helpful - have been referencing this video: quick question - I have had some issues with vertical groups (i.e. groups that are pretty much dead on windage-wise but spread out vertically). This is probably due to need for vertical adjustment correct?

Why not raise your target off the ground? I’m thinking it might eliminate the nock high your getting. How does a “whisker biscuit “ compare to a “bodoodle zapper x” in arrow flight and speed loss?

@@averagejackarchery Ok I have another question about arrows. So i bought some basic arrows on amazon (just in case i damage some on accident) Anyway, Id like to know if they are the "correct" arrows you would recommend or not. I have a draw weight of 50lbs. i have a draw length of 30" The arrows i ordered are 30" shafts, plus tip making them 31.5 overall length. They are a 500 spine. 13 gpi. They seem to shoot fine, but have alot of wobble out of the bow (which is why i watched this video, I need to adjust my rest) anyway, i have some arrows that are the same length, 400 spine and 8.0 gpi. These are alot faster out of my bow. Both shoot about the same groups.... what arrows would you recommend. The 400 spine, 8.0 gpi arrows are alot more fun to shoot. They are alot faster it seems and have less wobble....however the 500 spine arrows are heavier and they might group slightly better

[@11hankmardukis]

Excellent video. Been pulling my hair out a bit trying to tune bow myself as no pro shops locally. I paper tuned and was getting bullets and grouped ok at 25yds. Tried the bare shaft method and it's way out of whack. I'm way knock up, and when I drop my d loop it becomes dramatically out of perpendicular to string. No matter how far down I go it stays knock up. This is my first year into archery, still working on my form but nothing terribly out of order. I have a 28.5in draw length 58lbs ish and am shooting 340 spine arrows. Some are 32" which shows underspined on chart, but recently bought easton 6.5 hunter classics at 30" and a vaned arrow shows the same orientation at 12ft as bare shaft, knock way up. Left/right is ok. Am I missing something? Can it be the spine if they mimic each other? Can form make that much of a difference? Thanks for any input. Running out of ideas

[@robertmiller9142]

I understand that with a regular bow and I do shoot a whisker biscuit rest but I also shoot a triangle style bow that shoots between the limbs. The bow is only 21 1/2 inches axle to axle and 70 lbs draw weight at 27 1/2 inches draw length. I am having trouble getting it just right what do I do?

Yes! Just have to be careful with the amount of helical. A little goes a long way with a biscuit.

I told him it was for target shooting only. for 15 yards he used the top pin of a three pin site. the site with the allen key adj. If I want to further my distance, i will lose my 15yd set up. Correct? and further back I will loose that set up. Am I right? so there isn’t any way to get all three pins to work at those different distances without loosing the other two?

I'm mo expert I actually just got into archery last year but I agree when tunning your bow or arrow I believe your target should be at the same height as your arrow. But he may have done it this way just as a demo maybe.

[@patm434]

Safety issue is my guess. He’s shooting in his back yard. If he misses the target while it’s on the ground the arrow will likely end up in the dirt. Miss that target while it’s elevated at the arrow ends up in your neighbor’s kid.

[@billfogg8326]

Great video but I'm really struggling to get fixed blade broadheads to tune up with this. Both the QAD Exodus and Muzzy Trocars were shooting extremely low. I paper tuned again with my fletched arrows and they were tail high so I corrected that and at about 8-10 yards the broadheads also seemed to be paper tuning well. I took it outside and after adjusting the sites and at 30 yards the broadheads were hitting about 8" low. In order to get them anywhere close I had to move the WB pro rest so far down the arrow is sitting completely below the berger button hole and I had to adjust my site almost to its max low position. Any help would be much appreciated.

Switched to 5mm Fmjs my whiskerbiscuit is a medium size for carbon fury aarows I had before. There’s some play in the whiskerbiscuit center with my new smaller Fmj aarows. I’m dialed in on my shooting but can that mess up my accuracy? Should I switch it out with a small diameter biscuit?? Thanks!

[@averagejackarchery]

If it ain't broke don't fix it! You can switch to the smaller diameter but I wouldn't sweat it. You'd have to switch back to shoot a standard diameter arrow of you chose to change later.

I have the same whisker buscuit as you but I am having trouble finding out how to adjust for up/down. Left/right is no problem. What am I missing?

[@averagejackarchery]

You might have the WB that actually doesn't have vertical adjustment. Very common rest and one of my biggest complaints about WB made and sold.

@@averagejackarchery Oh ok. Well thank you for the response. If I were to get a fall away rest, which one would you suggest?

[@averagejackarchery]

@@bkg2213 QAD and Hamskea are the only two brands I pretty much trust anymore.

[@bkg2213]

@@averagejackarchery Awesome! Thanks for the replies! I will look into those brands.

I went to thinner arrows. How do u shrink the hole in the middle of the bisquit?

[@averagejackarchery]

Trophy ridge makes smaller and larger biscuit diameters. You'll have to find one online. Easy replacement.

Nice learning video. I have 6 compound bows all set up with Allen drop away rests and I love them. They're inexpensive, relatively easy to set up and maintain/use. I do have several whisker biscuit (both round hostage and 3-brush capture style ), but I don't use them. I get better speed and flight with the drop away rest. Also, I found that when using the 3-brush capture rest, I cannot use arrows with an offset or helical fletching. Using either (offset or helical fletching) with the 3-brush rest , as the arrow leaves the string, the fletching will actually contact the brushes and interfere with the arrow flight causing the arrow to be "bumped" off it's flight path.
