I shot a 12" Super Stix this year. I was going to change up for deer season, but my 3D setup was shooting so good I just did not want to mess up a good thing. I never had a problem with the long stabilizer in the stand. There was one evening in a ground blind that I was cussing it, got drawn but could not get the bow up to the window without the stabilizer rubbing against the blind. I would recommend going with a shorter stabilizer if you are going to be doing a lot of blind hunting, but if most of your hunting is done in a stand, then I don't believe you will have a problem.
