What is the purpose of the stabilizer .. Balance I'm sure but how do I know what weight to get or length .. I'm shooting an Energy 32 .. It feels a little top heavy .
It's dead in the hand , no vibration ..
Out at 30 yrds I'm a little shaky .. What do I need ..
Hey y'all watch this .....

Thanks Shaw .. I stopped at Wiley's on my way home from work and bought a bee stinger 6" sport hunter .. Got a lot better on my groups ! But I notice my peep was to high ... That was my real issue I think ... I managed to slide it down .. Working to get everything right ..

I think I got it set now .. I've learn tho anchor point is very important .. I was a little off and I shot all over the place at distance .. Up close not so much .. As I backed out to get my 30 wow .. I'm shooting a lot better now ! ..

Yes it can. It's just a matter of personal feel. Used to, the main reason people ran stabilizers on a hunting rig was to absorb vibration. With the way today's bows are that really isn't needed. Adding the right amount of weight in the right area can improve your accuracy. How much just depends on the shooter. Some people are happy with baseball size groups at 30 yards, while some want quarter size groups.

I'm pretty much the same out to 30 or so with or without stab...

Shaw, I got an Scoil I like pretty good but my bows dead as far as vibration anyways. I feel like I could use a little more out front (story of my life), maybe one of those would help. Ive never had a stabilizer that long. Would 8" be a good start? Interested in tightening up 60+ yard shooting.

Yep that would be a good size for a hunting rig. Might benefit more from a 10" or 12", but they tend to get in they way in hunting situations. I'm running an 8" B-Stinger on my Z7 and a 6" on my Q2.

Doinkers are good stabilizers, but a little on the expensive side. They have a model similar to the B-Stinger Sport Hunter. For me, a 12" stabilizer is too long for a hunting rig.

But would it work for regular sized people?

Close your eyes, come to draw and open your eyes. If you have to move your head up or down, adjust the peep height.
