I like the simms enhancer 2000 with a couple of their new modules on it. I put one module in the rear stabilizer mount too. I am shooting a q2xl. Hope this helps.

I like the Golden Key Tranquilizer, it does a heck of a job!

For me it's the Sorbotek...Unfortunately they are not made any more...for "in production" models the Stealth and the Vibracheck Isolater are quite good.

Obviously you're going to get alot of different answers for this one. I will tell you what stabs have worked the best of several my father and I tested on his Legacy (I shoot the Q2). Of several models tested, we found that the GK Tranq Shorty with a SVL Module on the end or the Trophy Ridge Xchanger did the best job at soaking up the shot and providing the most stable shooting platform. If it's a really light weight feel that you desire then just use the standard Traq. That would probably be my choice if I were making long stalks or alot of walking where the bow would be carried for long periods of time. For treestand hunting I prefer the extra weight. On my whitetail bow right now I'm using the Tranq Shorty with a SVL Mod on front and then 2 SVL Mods in the back bushing...... talk about soaking up the shot....WOW!!! The bow is truly DEAD in your hand. I hope this helps. Good luck and good shooting

I shoot a Legacy as well and have to agree w/ Bhunter. The Sims Enhancer 2000 w/ the Sims module system has been the best of everything I've tried. The downside is that this is an expensive combo and may be more than you want to spend.

The second best choice is the Golden Key Enhancer. It works great. After trying the short one and the long one back to back the longer one is much more effective. For the $$ it can't be beat and is avail. in many different camo combinations. You won't be dissapointed w/ either of these.

Conan...You must be saying the Golden Key Tranquilizer.
Used with the Sims enhancer does work well.
But for Great Result and less weight use it solo.
