Trophy Ridge Xchanger
 
I've been using the Xchanger for a couple of weeks now.This stab is an all alum. construction with a firm rubber core (Trophy Ridge calls it O/C technology) and a SVL Stealth LS on the end of the alum. extension.I've found the stabilizer to be of the highest quality with fit and finish exellent.The Realtree camo even looks to be fairly durable.Adjustments are easy but I found it to my liking to lock it at the closest setting (6 1/2").The close setting provides my Q2 with a solid feel and a slow slight forward balance and makes for a very stable and solid shooting platform.The Xchanger has a 9oz. mass weight.A top quality product,as good a stabilizer as I have owned.A tip, if it's a level balance you want on a Q2 then you can save yourself $15 by buying the Hunter model that does not feature the extension.However, if your needs for balancing change ( 3D vs Hunting) or you want to carry over to another bow than I would spend the extra $$ on the adjustable.Good luck and good shootin'

I could be wrong, but do you also have a Legacy Cornfed? I think I read your report on the Trophy Ridge Matrix, and I bought it and love the site. I have a Legacy and was wondering if you have tried it on the Legacy. If you don't have a Legacy I'm sorry for asking a stupid question.

Thanks Cornfed. You know I've been waiting since they started promoting it so thanks for sharing. I'd still like some more about how it adjusts. What locks it down and how? Does it look like the finish will wear over time from just adjusting it in and out? Is that L/S just stuck to the end like the solid limb kind or does it use a stud (they say the Navcom wears out over time and will need replaced) which could let you play with some weight also.

I'm still a bit hesitant to buy a stabilizer without trying it on for size, but I have almost bought one of these sight unseen. I'm glad to finally get someone's opinion, I had a feeling you'd be the first Cornfed. So, how long have you been with Trophyridge now?<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

The Xchanger uses a cinch type bushing that simply tightens to the inner shaft. The finish of the shaft seems very durable with not a single pressure mark or wear from any adjustments I've made.The Stealth LS is a standard stick on so replacement would be very easy.I think she'll serve me well

Im with Cornfed on this one also.

I have this on my MQ1 and it is a excellent product. I can also tell you that it is VERY durable. I managed to run this thing over with my P/U truck before i pulled it out of the package and nothing went wrong with it. Although i do not recomend you to do this (brain failure on my part) i can tell you it is of excellent construction.

I too like it in the short position.
