I am thinking it has something to do with the bows balance and how adding the stabaliser changes the way you hold the bow through the shot sequence. Do you have some sort of sling and shoot completely open grip, or do you just hold the bow litely?

Trying to hold the bow lightly is a tricky venture when you add weight because no-one wants to launch a $700+ chunck of aluminum down the range because we let go!

Here is a really easy way to check if it is a grip issue. White nuckle the thing and re-run your test. You should see a more consistent tear with and without the stabaliser. I realize that you can't tune a bow this way, but it will show that a inconsistent grip can cause the phenominon that you have observed.

Happy Shooting!
