What bow, that bares a little weight in my decision as far as the stabilizer goes. Of course, these are products I like, I suggest spending some time and deciding which features you and your budget like.

1. Vapor Trail Limb Driver best dropaway on the market IMO
2. Octane or B-Stinger. Doinker Multi rod is also an excellent choice.
3. Multi pin sights Spot Hogg or Viper. Single pin rear slider HHA is cream of the crop.
4. I like several of the Scott releases, but the Carter 2 Shot is the release I use the most.

Default Finding the impossible dream

Look for the recommendations on the items actually used by individual archers. Little will be gained looking for someone who's tested everything. They could be broke or a little psychotic.

In archery products don't expect one company to supply all the good products. If it's been around for five years, it should of seen a lifetime of archer's tests and examinations.

I use a release. I don't and never cared if it was one of the top three releases of the mid nineties. I then needed a release that was workable, would last a reasonable time and fit my budget. Most archers do not need the absolute best at the highest price. Many wouldn't notice the difference or make any difference in their arrow accuracy.
It isn't important if it was the best. The release has lasted some fifteen years, in working order. That's the only statistic that counts now.
