Stablizers???

[herdbull33]

Need a new, longer, better stablizer for my Bowtech Detroyer 340. Thanks for any input.

Why?

[RadSav]

How long and what are you using now?

[herdbull33]

I'm actually not sure of the brand buts its the one i've had since i started archery hunting About 6 years ago. Its about 4" long and i feel like a bit longer stablizer couldnt hurt.

Why?

If it gives him more confidence, why not?

[PolarBear]

I guess so.  For the most part they are unnecessary.

I would recommend you buy a Mathews, that will fix any shooting problems you are having with that destroyer.

Agree.  I was just curious because in most hunting situations it will not make a difference.  No gadget will improve shooting and confidence better then practice, practice, and more practice.

Stabilizers WILL help.  Can't deny physics.  The only downfall is you need a long stabilizer, heavier weight or a combination of the two for the effects to be noticeable.

For a lot of guys a 3 or 4 oz weight at the end of a 10" stabilizer will make a difference.

Some hunting situations it will get snagged on a little thing, nothing like having a blackberry vine grab on to your bow just when you are trying to lift it for a shot 
But honestly, I have one on my recurve.
I find my bow is quieter when I release, and my groups are tighter with one, but do not have a bow quiver.

Besides the vibration dampening effects of a stabilizer the only length/weight you need is just enough to counter the recoil of the shot. Your bow should stand still after the shot or tip forward just slightly. Any more than that is simply a hindrance especially while hunting. Your grip will also have an effect on the bow at the shot. A very open hand allows the bow to move any place at the shot. A relaxed hand contains much of the bows movement. I don't want to get into too much form detail but big/long stabilizers are overrated on a hunting bow if you ask me

[JPhelps]

I'm confused.  If it helps archers pound the X during competitive archery how can it not help stay on target during a hunting situation?

I challenge you to take a bow without a stabilizer and then take a bow with a long/weighted stabilizer and aim them at a target.  There is a difference.

doinker sells some quality stabilizers.
i run a dish to offset my sigh n quiver.
having some weight out in front of your bow will steady your sight picture.
my stabilizer has yet to hinder me in the woods.although my tie in the woods is minimal
