Cool american vid

YouTube - Whisker Biscuit Accuracy Proof

Now the product looks cool, but the reason for posting it here, is hearing the way this American talks, should he be an charge of a bow....

We are indeed in Redneck Country

So you know exactly what im saying

(so many Andrew Dice jokes coming to mind, head exploding as we speak)

Did some research on the product, they are great if you want your fletchings ripped to peices.

Also I was thinking on a serious note, anything that restricts the nomal movement of an arrow is probably a bad thing.

all joking aside...was this thread posted to discuss the whisker biscuit or just have a go at the chap in the video? if it's the latter, consider this thread closed as it serves no useful purpose.

I thought the vid was amazing seeing at he was shooting 135 yards.

It was an 80lb compound, but the distance was impressive.

I then thought although it would keep the arrow straight, its got to slow down the arrow and damage vanes.

Re the chap in the video, it was just like a bit the first time you see Baldrick presenting Time Team, you just expect to hear the words

'Lord I have a cunning plan'

I have also seen some info on the air rest, and to me that seems a much better way to go if you going down that route.

Any ideas if its legal and works for recurve?? (whisker or air-rest)

I would have thought that as with recurves the arrows don't travel straight but flex on release they wouldn't work. As to whether they're legal... I have no idea.

That is quite probably one of the best home-made equipment review type video's I've seen in a long time.

All jokes aside (and I've got plenty, I work with Californians everyday).

He shoots very, very well, presents the video in a way that stops people making the obvious scathing comments and sure proves his point.
I'm genuinely impressed.

Kae.
