Four issues:

Ballance I like neutral with a slow roll forward bias

weight, whatever is comfortable at the end of the day, in other words not just the most stable for part of the round.

Vibe, a lot of bows have this pretty much licked. i like rubber doinker type things to kill vibe.

Stability, basic idea it ot get the weight as far away from your hand as possible. A lot of older stabs pretty much ballanced in the middle, due to the weight of vibe eliminators like hydrolics. So a 24" stab might only get the weigt as far out there as a much shorter carbon stab. Even very light weight aluminum stabs are very good, but stabs that feel about the same whicehever ed you hold them by aren' t doing their job.

I like Shrewd precision, price is good, and they have all the details right, but their approach is simple, so there are others out thre just as effective, esaton, soem of the Specialty Archery ones , and so forth.

The go to your local shop idea is a fine one, but the fact is that I frequent a bunch of places, and none had the gear I felt I needed.
