Stabilizers

[@fulldraw]

just curious to what stabilizers you guys use and why you chose them. i'm looking to get a new stabilizer for my new bow. i want one that is 4-6 in. thanks.

Anything 4-6" won't really stabilize much. If you want something short, a Limbsaver S-Coil is cheap and does about as good of a job as any dampening vibes.

AEP 11 in. never have used anything real short.

With today's new bows a stabilizer isn't really a stabilizer but more so as a dampener. A more useful type of stabilizer would be an offset bar to counter balance the sights, quiver and rest mounts.

Thanks guys. Keep them coming.

I'm actually just wanting a stab to help eliminate any vibration. I've shot bows with longer stabs and never really felt much difference. They just got in the way while hunting. This is not for competition.

I use an old AEP 12" stabilizer with 7.5oz of forward weight that I have had for years. I chose this because I like having ability to put as little, or as much, forward weight on the bow for added stability.

I shoot a 12" B-Stinger with 11oz out front for hunting, spots, and the little 3D I shoot. I expect every bit as much accuracy out of my hunting bow as I would a target rig. However, length in itself doesn't do anything to resist movement.

Stealth stabilizer love it. Shot own all my bows it's good.

Went from a limbsaver s coil to a Doinker Dish 12" hunter. Has the same vibration dampening to me, and I can hold much steadier. I have a quick connect on my bow, so it can be taken off easier to fit in my case. Hope this helps.

thanks for the input guys. after shooting my new bow without a stabilizer, i realized that there wasn't much vibration. i bought an 8 in. x-factor stab and really like it.

I use a Sims Limbsaver s-coil with a 2.5 inch extention which makes it about 7.5 overall.
Stabilizes VERY well and a good hunter too.

I also didn;t see much difference in accuracy as far as hunting, except those two years when I shot with a permanent quiver. That rig used a longer (8") stabilizer; now I just use a Doinker 4"

 

[vonhogslayer]

I love the dish even the 6" stablizes!

Not to jump your site, on the same track, what do you guys think of the Octane 7"

 

[Buck Assassin]

S-coil from sims. It's soaks up some left over vibration and helps with balance a little.

Stokerized stabs for me!!!

 

[Crow Terminator]

I got Stokerized with mine a few weeks ago. Couldn't decide between it and a B-Stinger...went with the Stokerized cause a guy had one for exactly the amount I had in my PayPal account at the time. LOL no other reason.

I've got an octane 11'. I got it because it matched my bowtech, but I was also turned on by the plunger deal and the ability to add /subtract weights. It's nice but to big to hunt with.

For hunting I use and old x-ring. It's short, but it works.

Then I have a 28" easton stab. just for fun. all are very nice in my opinion.
