Anybody have experience with this setup?

Been debating trying it out but don't like dropping that kind of money to try something.  I ran a short bee stinger the first two seasons and didn't see any difference in performance so I just ran no stabilizer last year.  Seemed to be OK.  I'm wanting to try a larger stabilizer out front for sure because most seem to say to get any real benefit it should be longer.  I also tend to fight getting the site bubble level so I was thinking that sidebar might be helpful.  I'm a bit concerned all this fanciness will get in the way when hiking around so looking for input from other users out there.

Man, that's a lot of money just for a stabilizer. Their margins on that gotta be through the roof.

I thought about it and then ended up getting a longer stinger used for cheap.  I don't have any canting issues and am not really that great of a shot, so others will probably give you a more intelligent response.

I have one, I can admit it's Bow Bling. Not worth the $$$ vs performance.

What kind of quiver do you use? I’ve found that having a quiver tight to your bow like a tight spot or equivalent makes a huge difference on keeping the bow level without having two huge brush grabbers hanging off the bow.

I have a tight spot quiver on the bow.  The weird thing to me is my cant when I come to full draw is to the opposite side of the quiver.  I am canting my hand toward the quiver to level it out. This makes no sense to me.  I do a good bit of work with form and grip and it just seems to naturally go that way no matter what I do.

My curiosity got the best of my wallet and I bought one.  Just put it on yesterday and didn't have time to mess with adjusting stuff.  So far I'm not a big fan of that side bar sticking out.  Hopefully have some time this weekend to play with it and will report back.

Anyone else have a cant opposite of their quiver or heard of someone that does.  Just doesn't seem right to me.

not a good practice: "I am canting my hand toward the quiver to level it out...."


your results may vary but this system works for me & my current bow set up; Creed XS, 29"D @ 72lbs.
with the heavy Hogg Father single pin & 5-arrow Tightspot, the side bar left balances out my rig.

the most improvement I see (& need) is how the bow now balances in my hand; no front or back lean, no canting to either side. This has substantially improved my hold (grip) and the consistency to shoot 60-75 yards on hunting terrain, with the right wind conditions. Primarily for my AZ hunts which require more distance & accuracy.

a feature I like is the ability to remove or add the 1oz weights, or remove the stabilizers or just use one stabilizer. Such as when I'm in a treestand. Not needed for those <35yard shots.

looking forward to transfer this system to my new Vertix in a few more weeks.

Have had them on my bow for the last 6 seasons. Like it.  Thought it would be a problem in brush but don't even notice it.  They weren't that expensive when I bought them though.  I camo'd mine with brown and green coban.
