Stabilizers - I'm buying another bow and need a stabilizer for it
Any recommendations? The bow is a Hoyt Havoc, price of stabilizer doesn't matter all that much...as long as its not too high of a price. Thanks[:-]

PA,
There are so many stabilizers to choose from. I personally use a small COBRA 5 1/2 inch solid stabilizer. You may want camo, no camo, just look around in your local pro shops and such and find the one you like. There is no correct stabilizer for your bow, just as any other. Hope you find what u need, good luck.

RE: Stabilizers - I'm buying another bow and need a stabilizer for it
I had a rather long (7-8"), metal stabilizer with a weighted front end. I liked it because it seemed to balance my bow forward somewhat so it would tip forward after a shot. Last year I got a Cobra 5.5" made of rubber. Changed because wanted shorter for walking in the woods and transport. Needless to say there wasn't enough weight forward to tip bow and it felt different shooting. With that said, I am getting a new bow this year and am looking at stabilizers. I want stight weight forward and dampening. I may go with SVL Modular. That should get enough weight forward and I can adjust if necessary without extra length. Or I may add a short Doinker/Cobra piece and use my existing stabilizer. Also may get a quick connect for taking stabilizer off quickly??

I would try different stabilizers on the bow once you get it. All bows have a different balance of weight and what might work on one persons bow might throw another bow completely off. All you have to look for is a stabilizer that actually dampens vibration and not just adds weight. They are usually fluid filled, powder filled or hydraulic and with the new hoyts being as quiet as they are already, you could probably go with any number of stabilizers and get good performance.

I had owned several of the Havoc models when they were first introduced. Though I believe that balance is an individual choice for the shooter I will say that I found the 5-6 inch stabilizers to balance very well on the various Havocs I owned. Try to find a good shop that will let you compare and then start with something in this size. At least you have some size to work with.

Hey Nubo, how is your isolator working out?
I'm on the market for a new stabilizer for a new bow. My brother has an isolator and loves it, but all I see is raves over Stealth and Doinker.
Is this still the cats meow??[8D]
