Stabilizers
 

I usually don’t shoot with a stabilizer but am looking at putting on my new prime
How does one decide with out buying all different types

If you go to Jimbows they will usually allow you to try before you buy, as long as its not a super busy day.

I’m fairly new (2 months) been practicing without stabilizers. As I wanted to wait to be able to purchase a quiver. I grossly underestimated how much it was to set up a bow. But purchasing one on Friday. I was told not to get one by my friend who is somewhat old school. Curious what’s the max inches you would go for a stabilizer? Also what are some good brands? I was told by another to get one that is vented or or perforated so the wind doesn’t catch it. Any help would be really appreciated.

Like Lefty says, Jimbows will let you try before buy.

A lot of people run them for various reasons; balance, vibration reduction, etc.

I have a Hoyt (Fuse?) Blade 8" that has a quick detach on it (Blade Stabilizer). It has some of the above mentioned features in that it has the dampening rubber fingers and weighted front end connected by a rubber block, but the most interesting feature I find is that it's flat. When mounted, it lies flat and horizontal, allowing for hardly any effect from wind (that I can notice anyway).

One of the biggest things it did for me was so settle down the pin oscillations that without the stabilizer, seemed to happen to my pins. At draw without the stab, the pins seem to vibrate more than when the stab is mounted.

Bought a Crossover 8-21 adjustable stabilizer a few months back and probably one of the best purchases I've made. Right away made a huge difference in grouping. I find my sweet spot is around 12-15".

Coming from a cheapo generic 6" stabilizer before and I'm new to archery.

I use 10-12" stabilizer on my hunting bow and a 30" vented on my target bow. It will definitely help your shooting. You will never see a "serious" archer shooting without one.

I shot a 3", very light weight stabilizer for 6 years. This year went up to a 9" with adjustable weights. Big difference with the balance of the bow which make it more comfortable to shoot. Definitely recommend trying one out.

Went to a 12 inch stabalizer on my hunting compound a few years back from the original 4" one. Accuracy and stability greatly increased, especially in windy conditions which you often are in hunting. Make sure not to go too long that it gets in the way or awkward for stalking, depending on where/how you hunt you could choose your stabilizer accordingly.

Online reviews, for a hunting type stabilizer and I went with the Apache. Needed it more for vibration than anything else and it did an excellent job of that. Review was spot on.

Golden Sombrero Archery is a canadian manufacturer of stabilizers. Wyld Archery in Edmonton carries them, they also have a facebook page.

I picked up a 12" Beestinger stab for my DXT and it helped a lot
to tighten down left to right groups enough for me to keep it on
the bow and hunt with it. No problems.

I bought a Triax last year and have the same stab on that bow
but may try to take it before fall and see how the bow groups.
I may not need it for the Triax (different bow).

I would try one if you can before you buy and go with at least
a 12" or longer stab (light tube body with all the weight out front)
I saw the pins settle down in half the time with the stab than
without. But you may not with your bow and your stab so best
advice I can give is to try one.

For a hunting bow just buy one of these. I’m not sure they’re the best but they are good enough and a well respected brand.

Check buy and sell ads you can often find stads used for a good price. For Hunting 8-12" front. If your shooting target 25-30" in front and 6-12" in the rear. Any type of bar make sure you can find weights for it. Weights are the expensive part.

Insanely expensive for what they really are worth.literally.but I’m glad I made the purchase it helped me huge.had I known what they really were ida gone a different route.you work in a dab shop no?!!!lol
