Honestly dirtyd, if i were in your shoes i would go to wallyworld and get a sims s-coin stabilizer. they work and they are pretty cheap. Theres no since in spending a bunch of money when you are new to the sport.
+1 for the S-coil. Cheap and does a great job. I spent about an hour checking out almost every stabilizer at my local Gander and after shooting this one I even conviced the "pro" to change from his Diamond Wildthing.
