Having such a small gap to pass through was just asking for trouble in the first place. Unfortunately these openings were very small and required you to use straight vanes on your arrows.
Apparently the foam inside the disc was stiff and the idea was for your vanes to pass through the openings between the foam triangles. "The problem was with the overall design of the disc itself" he said. This is the Trophy Ridge Whisker Biscuit!Īccording to Daniel, the Whisper Disc was not very effective when it came to paper tuning a bow and in his opinion this was largely due to what he considers to be the biggest issue with the rest, and that was the "disc". The more he told me about the rest, the more I understood why it didn't do so well on the market.Īll it takes is a passing glance to see that the Whisper Disc is extremely similar to the Whisker Biscuit in a lot of ways, even down to how the product is displayed in the packaging. When I asked Daniel if he could recall any failed products that stand out to him the Whisper Disc was brought up in seconds. The Whisper Disc is a rest that I did not personally get to spend much time with but Daniel, the production manager here at Hunter's Friend, is very familiar with it. Anytime you have a product with such popularity, you will probably see some attempts at knocking it off from time to time. As we all know, The Whisker Biscuit is consider to be the most widely used and one of the most trusted arrow rests to ever hit the market. The name alone is pretty reminiscent of the Whisker Biscuit. This would be my best guess for what happened here with the Whisper Disc. Unfortunately some knockoffs are not done so well and they can lead to poor results with a feeling of regret for having purchased it in the first place. Sometimes knockoffs are pretty decent and they can save you money while giving you similar results. This will almost always lead to some attempt at a knockoff of the product in question. Others will see this and inevitably want to get a piece of the action. Someone will come out with a ground breaking idea and they will start to make some serious money because of it. This is something that happens in every corner of the business world. With all of that said, here are my top three picks for failed archery products that stand out most to me. With this in mind, I have decided to make a list of the products I can best recall standing out the most after they hit the market and failed for whatever reason. Other times products can just suck! Either way you go, the end result is the same, the product fails and most of the time they vanish from the market forever. A lot of these products sound incredible on paper but when you go to actually try them for yourself it turns out the idea of the product just does not work. This could be for one of many reasons, but it does tend to happen sometimes. Unfortunately they cant all be winners though! It does not happen often but occasionally something will hit the market that simply does not stack up compared to other accessories like it. At this point no one can deny how awesome some of these accessories have turned out to be. We even have freaking arrow nocks that glow like the sun once we fire them and we can now follow our arrow in real time as it streaks down range towards whatever target we flung it at. We have seen sights hit the market that are capable of tool-less micro adjustments on the fly. Bow hunters all over the world have been treated to incredible things such as faster bows that somehow shoot smoother than ever before.
Over the past 20 years the overall efficiency of bows and bow equipment has improved drastically. Archery is a sport loved by many and it continues to grow every year.
