RE: Why such a LARGE stabilizer?
Many people use hunting style bows when target shooting. They are cheaper, easier to find and have better resale than the same bow in target colors. The archery industry is driven by hunters, not target shooters so the target stuff is a bit harder to find and costs more usually. At least in the U.S. anyway.
I do believe there are some target venues that will not let you use camo bows and have a dress code for the shoots. In my area I would say 90 percent of the bows you see are camo be it indoor spots, 3-D, field archery, or hunting.
And with the price of bows now a days most only buy one bow and use it for target and hunting. If you do both the type of bow you choose will be pretty simple. You can target shoot just as well with a camo bow, but a neon blue bow with chrome cams my not be the best equipment to hunt with.
