Limbsaver S-Coil... got one?
So, with the hopes of getting a Guardian by the end of the year (assuming they are at my dealer by then), I have been looking into peeps, sights, rests, and of course stabilizers. I was doing some looking on BassPro and the look of the S-Coil stabilizer caught my eye, although that camo is hideous.
Does anyone have any reviews or opinions about the S-Coil on their bow? As most know, the search function on the forum is rather limited and not always helpful. I was looking into getting the larger size of the S-Coil, but wanted to get some feedback about them first. They seem to go pretty cheap on ebay too!

I just put one on my Black Ice, but I had to look long and hard to find the black one because I agree with you about the camo... 
I had one on my Switchback XT I owned too, but sold it all as a package deal. I think they're among the best stabilizers on the market for the money. I do think there's some out there which may better, but you're gonna spend at least $30 more to get them.

I've got one on my tribute and what I really like about it is thegrippy rubber holds my bow in my lap when I lay it across my legs when hunting from a tripod or ladder stand.
With my last stabilizer (doinker) my bow would slowly slide down my lap until I caught it, not anymore.

NO, I don't have one. They are pretty good at absorbing vibration, but as an actual stabilizer they are useless as they are too short. So is anything less than about 10". I use a 12" AEP on a 10 degree-down knuckle.

BG, you're exactly right... For a 30-yard and in situation, I'm not as sure I need an actual "stabilizer" as much as a "vibration and noise reduction" piece... If I were going to do some serious 3D shooting or target shooting, I probably wouldn't pick up the S Coil as a stab. But for most hunting applications, it seems more than adequate.
