Yes stabilizers work....and it depends on what you want them to work on...balance, weight, vibration dampening....choose one that suites your needs...

My Hoyt Ultratec was a 2000 model with the Redline (single) Cam, and without a stabilizer it would kick up. I put a Shockblocker on and it eliminated the kick entirely. Now I have a Trykon and it doesn't really need a stabilizer, but I use an S-Coil as a vibration dampener.

For balenceing , noise, and vibration/recoil reduction , they work . Try a simms 03" enhanser 2000 , and then take it off and try with out , big diferance , especialy on foward faceing limb bows .

They are good at reducing the effects of torque too, but you have to get one at least 10" long before they do much good at that. The short ones shouldn't be called stabilizers at all because they don't do any stabilizing. All they are isshock absorbers and counter weights.
