What type of vane should a person use on a wicker biscuit rest currently using FF-360 or would the SK-300 be better?

No sure what those are, but I use blazer vanes and they perform very well out of the biscuit - and have read that the stiffer material they are made with hold up better with the biscuit than others.

Peanut butter and jelly - PBJ. Fixed only, no mechanical here. Both vane models you posted will work just use good glue on the stiffer ones.

Been shooting FF 360s for several years with a WB. No issues with the Biscuit, arrows fly great!
I use clear PVC primer on the vanes before fletching, seems to help them stay tighter on the arrow shaft, over time. I shoot a lot !

I shoot feathers and they do fine so I can't imagine that any properly fletched vane would have problems.

SK 300 are stiffer than the 360’s

Bohning Heat vanes are very stiff material. Would perform great with whisker biscuits

Agree that the stiffer the vane material the better, soft plastic vanes have a tendency to ripple and get wavy through a biscuit. Shawn

^X2....I never used a biscuit but understand that is one of the knocks on them. The other I'm aware of is if they get wet in cold weather they can freeze up and/or freeze to the arrow.

I've had my string/cam freeze before several times. I'll draw back and you will hear the ice pop. Don't think I ever had the arrow freeze to the QAD. I've had snow/ice freeze to the shaft of the arrow. In that case I wipe it off a few times to get rid of the ice.

If you are worried about a freeze up just push your finger through it a few times. A WB will freeze about the same time any other rest will freeze up.

Been shooting a biscuit well north of 10years. Never had it freeze up. But if the weather was bad enough that I was worried my WB was freezing I simply shudder to imagine shooting a drop away in those same conditions. So I’ve got ice building up all over my bow and on a rest that needs to swing freely out of the way in a nano-second...I’ll take the biscuit.

I use the Flex Fletch Flash 2" with a slight helical. Haven't had any issues
