So what you are saying is that the benefits of a shorter (under 12 inches) stabilizerdoes very little in terms of improving accuracy versus not having a stabilizer at all?
Well thats a fairly broad statement but if the bow is nicely ballanced like the Bowtech's are then yes.
The experience you related earlier in your post of shooting with a long stabilizer vs. non at all seems to run right along with what I am suggesting yet you are planning to go with the 26 inch model in the future. Out of curiousity, why?
Like I said earlier I have stepped to open class where I am shooting out to 50yards plus shooting field where the max distance is 80 yards then the longer stabilizer does help toimprove accuracy due to it being harder to tourque the bow.
But at hunting distances 25 yards and less there is no real benifit of having a stabilizer at all unless the bow is that unbalanced that you have to have one just to balance the bow out.
The only reason I have one on my hunting bow to keep the wrist sling in place
