i noticed yesterday that holding my bow up and drawing back got to the pt were i was moving my bow arm to much. it seemed as though my bow was to heavy for some reason. so i took my 10 in. stabilizer off and shot with out it to see what would happen.i was surprised the bow would even tilt forward in my bow hand without it on.so i tried it out that way and there was a world of difference in my holding ability and i shot just as well.i ended up puting a 6 in. 6 oz. weight on it to help absorb some shock. how many bow hunters use just a small stabilizer to hunt with and get the same results as i have. i just dont seem to tire out as easy as before by doing this.
