whats your favorite hunting stabilizer?
« on: April 30, 2015, 06:08:51 PM »
Hey guys, I feel like my little 4 inch stabilizer is adequate enough to do the job. There is just a little to much movement out front and hoping a slightly bigger stabilizer will help. Im in the market for something no bigger than 8 inches. Hoping you guys could give me some recommendations so I dont waste money.

Thank you very much,
Levi

Limbsaver! Of course I'm biased because I know some of the people there though.

Stealth archery just put one on this week & it felt like a entirely different bow for the better!!  I had a pin float all over the place out past 20yrds highly recommended!

B-stinger has greatly improved my ability to stay on target.

I tried a B-stinger last season first time using a stabilizer and didn't even notice a difference. I pulled it back off and no change to my shooting and reduced the weight of the bow and how much contact it has with branches while I'm walking in the woods.

 :yeah:

Big fan of dead center archery stuff myself. Better bang for your buck IMO. I run a 10" on my hunting set up and haven't had any problems.

If you get something where you can add/remove weight on the end, buy a bunch of fender washers first to experiment with different weights...way cheaper than buying more weights, in case you don't like it.

Always carry a flagon of whiskey in case of snakebite and furthermore always carry a small snake

I bought a 7 inch limbsaver than I can add weight to if I want. Tried longer ones also but didn't notice a difference in my shooting. I wanted to support my local shop and he carries limbsavers. Very happy with it. If your in the spokane / deer park area and never been to whitetail plus you should check it out. Great service and great guy who owns it. Very knowledgeable.

If I shot 12" groups at 20 yards I'd probably not be able to tell the difference either  :tung: :chuckle::chuckle:

I'm a Sims Modular guy through and through.  Love that stabilizer!  Every bow I own has one set up just for it's personal attributes.  And the best part is I'm supporting some dang good folks right here in the state of Washington :tup:

He asked, Do you ever give a short simple answer?  I replied, "Nope."

I'm watching this topic with interest because my primary bow has never been as accurate as my backup bow.  I always figured it was something about the bows themselves but I'm beginning to notice that my primary bow is more difficult to hold steady and it may very well be because I don't have a good stabilizer. :dunno:
