new stabilizer

[Kyle1112]

lookin at a new stabilizer and i was wondering what peoples opinions were on the ones out there. not lookin to drop a ton of money but want a decent and effective product, one that has a threaded hole for more weight and dampens sound well, i looked at the Bowjax 7" and it looks pretty good for the price...input?

You might check out the new Static by trophy ridge. It sounds just like what you are looking for. It comes with extra weights that you can fine tune you bow balance with. They make a 6 and 9" model.

Mine is on the way and I am looking forward to playing with it. They don't break the bank either.

Carbon blades

Fuse Carbon Blades are very nice (I own one), but expensive.  If I wanted to keep the cost below $100 I would look at the B-Stinger Sport Hunter Xtreme ( http://www.b-stinger.com/archery-stabilizer-product-details.php?mf=1000 ).  It has both dampening and adjustable weight.

I dont use a stabilizer any longer.  Either I am always a poor shot or it didnt make much of a difference.  If it isnt at least eight or so inches long (stabilizer that is  ) it probably really isnt that effective.

I have the B Stinger Sport Extreme.  I shot my Mathews without one for many years.  I do think you will notice a difference at longer range shooting (40 and out).  If you don't shoot past 40, you probably don't need one. 

I don't really notice any noise difference with or without.  The best thing I did for my bow to eliminate noise and vibration was put on a string stop (Norway industries I think).

I notice a lot of people have gone to no stabilizer and that seems weird to me but hey to each their own. I shoot out to sixty on a regular basis so having one is key. Ive been running the thought of making my own through my head but I don't even know where to start hahahaha.

I use the trophey ridge static on my bow, love it. I got the 6" and i noticed i was more balanced for weight.

My stabilizers are all 12 inches long now days.

See I was thinkin about 8-10" cause that seems to be when it's doing the most to help the shot and also the displacement of any vibration the bow may have. That static looks a little weird to me almost to the point that it makes it look like it won't work and it's more for looks ya know

There is a newer on on the market that has adjustable weights on the end that you can move left or right to balance the weight of a quiver and othe stuff attached to you bow.

Oh, forgot to mention the Octane Balance X.  It adjusts 7-11" and has a couple of weights that can be added or removed.  Can't get more flexible than that in a single package.
