As far as hunting practicality goes, I don't think there's a better choice than the bisquit. I'm not sure the notched bisquit is any different than the original other than the fact that its easier to load, not that the original is all that hard to load anyway. I did have someone tell me one time that the bristles are more dense on the lower section of the bisquit, and that shooting with your cock feather down eliminates some of the wear and tear on the other two. I myself shoot vanes, and have never had to replace one caused from wear of the bisquit.
