When I bought my Switchback last year they didn't have the one for the Matthews out yet. I am getting it after I go on an exotic hunt I have booked in January.

you can always get by with something, and you can get by with the whisker biscuit. I literally just took mine off about 2 days ago. I got the trophy takr drop away and my accuracy has improved night and day, it is a much more solid and smooth release. I would say the drop away 9 times out of 10 for accuracy and you wont be let down

I was shooting my cock vane down like always and the bowtech at Outdoor Pro shop in Garland said to shoot the cock vane up. That way there's less chance of wrinkling the vanes.
This is the way I determined to shoot it after having tons of trouble. Basicly trouble free now.

Accuracy is a non event if the arrow falls out of the rest while you are waiting on the game! Artofficial, I am very happy to hear of your results. That is the luck I have had with them and let's face it, the arrow is much more secure in the WB. Good luck using it!!!!
I know what you're thinkin'.....and you're wrong!

It amazes me how because someone doesn't share the same opinion regarding a piece of equipment we get so defensive. I shoot the WB and like it for the stalking and severe angle shots. That said, I have considered trying a drop away but that being said I am concerned about the noise, reliability and entanglements of the string factor. I know the peeps with the little rubber tubing for alignment can have issues and hate to spend as much money as the decent ones cost to have something that hangs on the brush, collects stick-tites, makes noise and causes more issues than it solves. I know they are more accurate because I sacrificed accuracy and shoot larger groups with the WB but they are still kill effective groups. I will end up trying a drop away but the WB has been good for what I went to it for. It is an expensive experiment though. I imagine I will kill more deer and hogs using the WB before I do though.

Ty,
I've been shooting one for about 4 years and like it. It can be tough on the longer vanes as it tend to warp them after several shots. I switched to Blazer vanes-2" this week and the work much better with no warping. They are also made of a thicker material to resist the warping. Just my .02...

I have a WB on my Hoyt and love it because when i`m on stand i can lay my bow on my lap for quick access when big nasty comes by and not worry about my arrow falling off. For the 25-30 yard shots i`m taking there is no negative accuracy problems i have seen and in about a second the business end of my arrow doing it`s job.

For some of you that are thinking about getting a Whisker buscuit, I seen them on clearance at the Wal-mart today in Rowlett for $15.00 This was marked down to less than half the price.
