If you are hunting in the woods a short light stabilizer that actually works is the Lore. It might be half the weight as a twelve ounce stabilizer but it acts like one twice its size. I believe Bowzone tested stabilizers last year and the Lore outshot the rest. The point is this stabilizer works and it saves half a pound and it helps your bow to shoot better. I put a Lore on my Hoyt MT Sport last year. Did it help? Yes. Did it take away alot of the handshock and vibrations in the bow? Yes. Did it improve my groups? Yes.
