whisker biscuit mess up fletching??

I put a whisker biscuit on my hunting bow and after just a few shots the fletchings on my arrows were being pulled off the shaft. I know the size of the rest is correct. Has anyone else had issues with this? I've heard it can take a toll on the fletchings after awhile, but not after 3 shots...

I intially had duravanes(arrows fletched at proshop)

I had problems with vanes tearing. I Got a doz arrows from archery experts, fletched with the new duravane "savage" - a lot tougher vane. But almost every vane came off at the base. I would say very shody fletching job!

I bought a fletching jig, some loctite super glue gel, and now use AAE Elite Plastifletch. no problems through the wisker biscuit! In fact I only re-fletch when one arrow hits another, or when I want to change colors!
