Nice bow,congrats on the purchase.The whisker Biscuit is good for hunting,the Copperjohn is an awesome site as well.
As for stabilizers,its kinda a personal choice,everything feels different to each individual.
Personally I like the Doinkers.I just picked up the 7 inch last weekend and seemed to suit me just fine on the Patriot.The perfect combination of balance and weight.
Sorry----7" is 9 oz
