Maybe ... often it is not the answer I want.

If I ask for it different or ask it again.... maybe I can get an answer I want!!!
There that's it.
This question began as a simple what is it..
12 inches from point of attachment....
Point of attachment to what??? As a basis I / (as most would, I think) we assume the bow. In this case the riser.
In this question how can we consider an omni coupler/ extension/ quick detach/ vibration dampener/etc. as not part of a measurement for the total.
There are several stabilizers made that are 11.75 inches in length. Put the above ad ons to them and you got maybe 24 inches of stabilizer.
But my stabilized is just 11.75 in.
How about just the coupler and the stabilizer?
How about the dampener? How about the dampener and a short coupler?
etc.etc. etc.
You guys know what I mean.

But first and foremost, everytime you wonder....... ask the question.
There are no bad questions..
