Anybody ever put some felt at the bottom of the biscuit? Or did I just come up with something? I mean if the fletching didn't touch the felt? If not felt some smooth bristles or such. A biscuit with butter on it...
Jim (Keep) does this. I hear zero noise from my ICS bowhunter arrows. Of course, they arent designed to be used by professional archer's either!

Serious question on the noise issue: On my WB, my arrow does not make much if any noise, but any noise it would make is from the small contact between shaft and a very small set if bristles. Why wouldn't this noise happen when drawing on a fall away rest? Doesn't the shaft slide on something as it is being drawn back? What makes it different? I have seen some vids of tourney shooters load and draw their bow and you hear all this scraping noise like fingers on a chalkboard sometimes.

Not sure how everyone else's rest is, but I shoot a ripcord code red that comes with felt already installed.
Under the felt if a rubber molding that serves as a back up?

This is a QAD^^ it has the felt to keep it quiet.
I prefer the louder, less accurate, less forgiving so I must have perfect form unlike the 3D guy's form, ugly, unsophisticated, is only good out to 50yds, impossible to draw on an animal with rest that I've killed my last 5 deer with that have averaged 154". Yep it sucks!

Reason: Bad math

It seems to me that the fall away rest is the one designed for women and children! If one shoots a lot better with a fall away, then seems that person might need to go back to bowhunting 101, and pay close attn to the "form" section.
It just does not seem that smart to me to add more moving parts to a bow, when a fraction of an inch of movement in a rest can mean missing or worse, wounding the animal of a lifetime! Seems irresponsible to not go to the field with the most reliable, fail-proof equipment possible.
I bought a bow to play around with. I had a WB on it first. Then put a NAP enclosed drop away on it. Seemed to shoot the same. Guess what I did with the WB? Put it on my 7 year old's bow .
