Hey guys, real quick question for you! I just bought 6 brand new arrows around the end of January and of those 6, 3 of them had the fletchings fall off. As well, 5 of the other arrows I have had the fletching fall off. The fletchings are coming off from both the back and the front and I can’t think of what might be causing it. I have a whisker biscuit and I’m thinking that’s my best guess, but curious for some other input! Do you recommend buying a new one or do you think the glue job could’ve been the issue?

I don't think it's the whisker biscuit (although you should upgrade your rest). Likely a glue/prep issue. Get them refletched.

Do you recommend drop away rests or just get another whisker biscuit?

Move on from the whisker biscuit.

Take them back, BAD Glue job, I agree with ranger, Get a drop away, no such nonsence as whisker biscuit.

I have always used a drop away rest once they came out.

Thanks you guys for your input! I’ll make sure to take them back and get myself a drop away rest lol! Do you guys have any suggestions as to types of drop away rests? There’s a lot on the market currently and I’m not sure which direction to start looking

I use a Ripcord but there are lots of other good ones too.

Ever tried shooting your bow canted sideways with a drop away rest? What are you going to do when that bull of a lifetime is standing 30 feet away and you're stuck under a tree where you can only shoot your bow canted to the side. Drop aways are great for targets and tournaments but not as useful for bowhunting. The OP's problem is with the fletching not being glued at the front and rear.
