there are so many on the market that claim to reduce hand shock but out of the many that everyone has tried which do you guys really think reduces the most hand shock for a short hunting stabilizer.
I have the Simms modular. I started with one unit, shot a few days, added the second, shot a few days then added the third. It seems almost perfect. Then I added the Sims 8 arrow quiver insert. My bow barely whispers when it goes off, and there is little felt vibration at all.

I tried a few some years back and then I tried my buddies doinker it was a shorty hunter and it worked so much better than anything else I tried. I settled on the 5" armoured doinker and have been really satisfied. I've heard that their newer models are even better. I think though that with the modern bows with the longer risers you really need to look for something that is real light but does the job, as those longer risers are a bit top heavy. When I tried the Outback I needed to shoot it without a stab for it to balance for me, so I would say that it depends of the bow.

The 7" Doinker D2 Multi-Rod is the best stabilizer for absorbing shock and vibration that I've ever tried. In the past I've tried or used Stealth, HiTek, Saunders, Sims, Nap, and Vibracheck. Never tried the Sorbotek that JeffB mentioned though.

I think it depends on the bow you are shooting. The Hydraulic stabs seem to work well for 2 cam, straight ahead recoil. Lots of single cam shooters prefer the Doinker. I thought my old Saunders Torque Tamer worked pretty well. I really like the 6" Stealth that I have now. It works well enough that I am not looking for another brand.

Here another vote for the Doinker D2 Multi-rod. I put the 10" version on my XTEC a few weeks ago and it is incredible at reducing vibes. I would have to say that it truly is better at doing what a stab is supposed to do than anything else I have ever used. It seems that every year I'm constantly experimenting with different stabs but this Doinker looks like the winner. A great stab certainly worht checking out.

I use the stealth 6" model and found it to be the stabilizer that I've used ,I had the vibracheck Isolator on first but after testing the 2 side by side I went with the Stealth as my number ! .
most shock absorbing stabilizer?
