Stabilizers on your hunting bow...

There's a conundrum...

Totally unnecessary for sure. They do quiet it down a touch. They're more weight to lug around. Difference between getting a deer and eating the tag? Never.

Willa big onehelp you stabilize on the bonus ring on a 3d target? Sure.

I hunted for years without one, and shot hordes of deer.But I broke tradition when I stuck a cheapie S-Coilon my new bow, just because it was cheap and seemed to quiet it down a bit.

It looks cool too, which was probably the biggest motivational factor...which is comical, b/c I put the world's ugliest sight on my bow. I guess it doesn't make much sense to go with a stab b/c it looks cool, but then follow it up by installing a fuse sight that looks like 7 days of sin. LMAO.

My bow isn't this ugly anymore, b/c I've since removed this hideous sight and replaced it with something much more aethetically pleasing.


I guess I can see the point if you're one of the guys who shoots competitivelyduring archery season. But beyond that -a cheap rubber doinker or S-Coil (or no stabilizerat all)will do you like a dinner.
