Go to a pro-shop or a 3-d shoot and ask around. Folks there will probably let you try different products on your bow. That way, you don't wind up like a lot of us, who have been doing this for a while, with a footlocker full of archery stuff that "could do more".

If your bow is relatively quiet, holds well, and falls, gently, forward (instead of back or to one side or the other), then I feel a stabilizer is just extra weight, on a hunting bow.

Just for the record, what you have is a stabilizer. It doesn't have to be a 3 ft. stinger with v-bars to stabilize. One of the best (and ugliset) stabilizers I have is a home made one we played around with in the early '90's (6" of one inch PVC filled about 80% with glass beads or "dippety doo" and capped on the ends). It, and variations on the same theme, works as well as 90% of the stabilizers out there and cost a whole $2.95.
