By just reading the comments here, I have learned so much. I've been shooting bows all my life and have never used a back bar stabilizer on a bow, but that will soon change after reading mathews prostaff's and learning that I am fighting the bow. I'm not bad with a bow and can consistently shoot decent (paper plate size) groups at 50 and 60 yards, but I am always looking to improve my ability to be more accurate. I read shaw's comments about the B-stinger microhex counter weight stabilizer, and it makes sense to keep things as compact as possible. What are some other suggestions on back bar setups?

Also, my thumb release is starting to not close all the way and I've been looking at my options. I've read in multiple places on the internet that Carter releases are extremely loud. Is this true? I understand clicking the release on the Dloop will make noise (doesn't bother me because I click it on the Dloop and just let it hang as soon as I get settled into the tree), but some people suggest the actual mechanism releasing the string during the shot is extremely loud. I was considering the Chocolate addiction or Chocolate lite 3 finger. The ability to adjust the trigger position in so many ways has me leaning towards the Chocolate Addiction. What are some other thumb releases to consider?
