stabilizer is 25, limbsavers are 20, and the string stop/ string decelerator is 40 bucks 85 plus tax, and it should make the bow much nicer to shoot.
they call me the bloodhound cause i can track a wounded animal in the rain for 2 days when all it has is a splinter.. sniff sniff awooo

Since you didn't ask here's my :twocents: :chuckle: if you get a string stopper and string scilencers do not waste your $ on a vibration reducing stabilizer such as the limbsaver. It won't do anything to help. There are 2 different worlds of stabilizers. 1) the vibration reduction kind 2) the stabilizing kind. Unless you bow is an absolute rattletrap the vibration reduction kind is worthless. Look at b-stinger stokerized smooth stability stabilizers ect. They will actually make your bow hold better on target and fight torque resulting in better more consistent shooting. Yes they are more expensive but will help you tremendously. As long as you open your eyes. :chuckle:

Here is a silly question. . . my husband set my bow up so sorry that it is really dumb. What is the weird coil thing on my bow? And what does it do? Is that not a stablizer? I kinda thought it was. . . or maybe is that not the right kind? Just wondering. . . now that you started I am going to pick you brains. . .hope you dont mind. :)

yah thats the stabilizer, it reduces shock in the bow. the one you have is really short and limbsaver make the same one in a much longer version that will help stabilize your bow more and reduce shock more. so it doesnt feel like it wants to jump out of your hand as much.

it is a stabilizer. theres really no "right and wrong" kind. just good and bad. j/k here is a link to the one i use. it may be a little extreme for some but put 100 shots through your bow with one of these and i guarentee you wont go back to the vibration reduction kind.

the wisker bisuit is a great beginner rest but you will soon want to go to a fall away. yes archery is expensive!

drop away rest by far, hands down, no substitute. ive shot wisker biskets and out past 40 yards they tend to loose accuracy faster then any other rest out there. they are terrible for learning with because if you torque your bow at release they are least forgiving rest out there. you have to have perfect form to shoot them consistently well. they destroy your fletchings and youll have to have your arrows fixed often.  switching to a drop away will fix tons of problems fo a newbee and youll feel much more confident when shooting. and unless your hunting in a tree stand there is no reason for you to have a wisker bisket.

Yeah I already knew that archery is expensive. . . My husband "hunts" archery. . .he is more of a muzzy hunter I think though but you would have to ask him. He is also pretty new at the archery thing but he is comfortable hunting with his bow. . . I am most deff. not.

I really like the opinions on the diffrences between the two rests. . .With me just because I am just learning I go by looks and I dont like the wisker whatever. . .its ugly. But! I will be using it for awhile unitl I am a pro on some hunting show! LOL!  :chuckle:
