Sorry for being uninformed Greg..........I guess all my bows with my 5" stabilizers that I have taken many deer in my 30 years of bowhunting must be nothing but BS. What I'm saying is simply that there is no need for a set up of a stabilizer 10-12 inches on a bow used primarily for hunting. Call is personal preference or whatever you like. I've hunted in some pretty cramped quarters and to be able to maneuver a bow with a short stabilizer is definately a plus and not a hinderance.

P.S. I don't hunt with a broomstick either. Happy Hunting and Good Bloodtrails.
