Doinker stabs are awesome. I have tried quite a few and I am now using a 12" Doinker dish. Don't plan on changing any time soon. I like to do a little 3d, if it was a strictly hunting setup I would recommend taking a look at the dish hunter.

Lots of options to look at.  I would recommend going to your local pro shop and shoot as many as you can with your bow.

Just don't confuse a stabilizer with a vibration dampener.  A lot of what is being sold as stabilizer these days would be better classified as a dampener.  Not that a dampener is a bad thing, in fact it is a good thing, just different.

Think twitching a "Rock on a stick".  Easy to do until the stick gets some length.

I'd say anything less than 8 inches tends to fall into the dampener category.  They also tend to be loaded with anti-vibration features.

I'd also say that with current short limb, short stroke, parallel limb designs, anti-vibe might be more interesting than stabilization...

my 2 cents....
