Whisker buiscuts are hard on fletches and although a fresh one is almost as accurate as a drop away, I think they lose accuracy as they wear out like the octane hostage taker, only because of more whiskers it takes longer. That's why I stopped using them. I only saw 3-4fps difference in speed when I was testing them out. My biggest pet peave with them was having to always replace fletchings because they were torn off or starting to ripple. Nowadays the only time I have to replace fletchings is when I shoot them off with another arrow.
Like everything else in archery, it's person opinion and about weighing the pro's and con's. I switched to a fall away and won't be switching back, ymmv.
