RE: Your Thoughts....
I agree with bdu33, your budget will have everything to do with it. I will say that for a stabilizer, the limbsaver S-Coil works great and only costs about $20. I also think catwhisker string silencers work well to and they only costs a couple of dollars. I've seen both of these at Wal-Mart. Just decide how much you want to put into and go to a local bow shop. I've noticed with archery, you tend to get what you pay for. Good luck.
