Breaking the Whisker Biscuit Mount?

[LessIsLess]

Anyone else have this issue? This is my second break.

Both were bought and installed by my local bow shop, and both have snapped in the same spot. When the shop guy called the first one in on warranty, they acted as if it was a normal problem and immediately authorized the replacement. Just curious if anyone else was in my same boat.

No more than 500 shots on either rest.

First time I've heard of this. They seem pretty stout to me.

First time I've heard of this.

Same here. Don't they have some kind of "no failure" guarantee? Seems I remember seeing that in one of the bowhunting magazines lately.

I never had one break when I used them . Are they breaking during the shot , or are they being bumped on a hard object ?

 

[LessIsLess]

during a shot.

This is extremely odd...never heard of this even on Archery Talk where there are tens of thousands of archers.

I think you may have a serious contact issue . I'm thinking the center shot or elevation could be off enough to create hard contact with the frame .

I agree. It looks like some pretty good wear on some of thos bristles or however you spell it.
Are you getting any fletching damage or wear?

 

[LessIsLess]

No fletching damage. I'll be able to take it in tomorrow...but I'm wondering if the bow shop is the problem. I guess I could blame it on myself for not knowing how to tune up my own equipment - but I outsource when I think it's better.....

 

[UTGrad]

How are you storing your bow? How tight are you torquing down the mount screws? This really baffles me.

I have had my biscuit for over 5 years and never had a problem with it. The bristles have a little wear on them, but not affecting my shot.

Somethings definitely wrong.
