Back in 03I was shooting in a tourney when my multi rod 12" stab started to come apart on me without me noticing
My scores dropped dramaticly, after a lot of head scratching and going over the bow I found the stab was the problem so I took it off and proceeded to throw it into the woods.
I only had 7 targets to go so instead of going back to the truck for the back up stab I shot the last 7 with no stab and finished with 6 11's and 1 10.
Now that I have moved to open class I brought a 24" stab it did help stabilizing the bow it is real hard to tourque the bow with a long stab, my shooting partner had a 26" KK stab but did not like it because it did not put enough weight on his had so I tried it on my Con. it worked even better than the 24" stab so he ain't getting it back
But I do agree with you on the fact that most smaller stabs do very little for me accuracy and stabilizing wise and only have one on my hunting bow to keep the wrist sling in place
