Does any one use a long stabilizer on their hunting bow? I am looking at possibly getting an octane 11.5" or a fuse 10" stabilizer for my bow but am concerned if it would be a hinderance in the tree stand or in the blind.
I use a 10.5" stabilizer on mine and have no problems at all in a treestand. Your arrow sticks out a lot farther than that when you are holding your bow anyway.

Deer coming into my treestand, a big non-typical. Setup is perfect. I draw back, take aim, and the pin settles perfectly on it's chest.....My thumb hits the release, arrow glides noiselessly toward it's target............then I woke up.....dang, another day of classes *sigh*
I had the 10 in fuse on my old hunting bow didn't hinder me at all. Your arrow sticks out further than the stabilizer until you draw back I never had any problems

I don't feel there necessary past 6inch, they stop the vibration and give balance. anything thing over 6 is pushing it.
Wow, really? I could easily tell a difference between my 6" old stabilizer (not sure what brand) and my octane 11.5". If you dont think a longer stab. helps, stick on a really long one adn see how it feels! You will be able to tell the difference.
I shot a 12" Super Stix this year. I was going to change up for deer season, but my 3D setup was shooting so good I just did not want to mess up a good thing. I never had a problem with the long stabilizer in the stand. There was one evening in a ground blind that I was cussing it, got drawn but could not get the bow up to the window without the stabilizer rubbing against the blind. I would recommend going with a shorter stabilizer if you are going to be doing a lot of blind hunting, but if most of your hunting is done in a stand, then I don't believe you will have a problem.
