AdvantageTimberLou Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 Re: stabalizers? S-coil for the money but I like the Fuse line of stabilizers. Pricey but nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTbowman Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 Re: stabalizers? Well here is my opinion. Unless its real heavy or real long it will not help with accuracy. The shorter rubberized ones we hunters use are more of vibration dampening then for stablization like those longer target styles. I found my accuracy was the exact same with or without one but I plan to use the Simms S-coil for its vibration dampening.

hunterfisherman Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 Re: stabalizers? I bought one for the dampening affect. I shoot better with it on but that could be in my head too. It's all about what makes you most comfortable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
centralsaskhunter Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 Re: stabalizers? I am without a stabelizer, and I don't think that im going to get one for the fact that it shoots the same as without... I have tried a bow before and after, and the only difference was the vibration. Have a good one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ILclimber Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 Re: stabalizers? it may help you, some people don't use one, but I believe that can make a little bit of difference! Hope you find what your looking for! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ODH Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 Re: stabalizers? it might make you steadier, might not. I just bouht a 6" camo one for hunting, and I use a 36" one for competition. I had been shooting without one for hunting setup, but now I will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom2008 Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 Re: stabalizers? I just bought one last Christmas and found out that it really brought down the noise on my bow. I bought a Fuse Stablizer 6 inches long. Best $55 I have ever spent on something to bring down the noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless its real heavy or real long it will not help with accuracy.The shorter rubberized ones we hunters use are more of vibration dampening then for stablization like those longer target styles. You are exactly right. A longer, heavier stabilizer is definitely more accurate than a shorter lighter one and yes, the lighter rubber ones are made to reduce vibration and nothing else. IMO, everyone would benefit from a little heavier and longer stabilizer, and yes, they will kill vibration too I found my accuracy was the exact same with or without one Well, I found the same exact thing to be true as well, HOWEVER, throw in a nice cross wind (not a little breeze) and a goofy angle in a treestand, and that all changes dramatically, especially on longer shots I've got an 8", 12 oz. Stealth Hunter stabilizer on my Switchback. It allows me to hold rock solid in any type of wind and the vibration killing factor is simply unreal. I have used Vibrachecks, Doinkers and even the coveted Sims Modular and NOTHING, I repeat NOTHING, has held a candle to what this Stealth stabilizer does for my bow.............

unioncountyslayer Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 Re: stabalizers? Carolina Archery Products Camo LORE stabilizer, makers of the whisker biscuit. It's nice to be able to break down the stabilizer without removing it for transporting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hutchies Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 Re: stabalizers? S coil.........it adds just a little weight and absorbs any vibration. For $15 you cannot beat it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
