STEALTH CUSTOM 3-D STABILIZER
OK, I just got my new custom made 24" stabilizer today. I contacted Jerry from Stealth Archery about building me one to my specs after reading a report from Matt/PA about his products.
Here is what I have determined after some testing.
1. My original intent was to get a stabilizer that would help me balance out my 3-d rig. Shock/noise absorbsion was not really important to me since this was not for hunting purposes, and the fact that my excel cam ultratec already had so little recoil that I have to look to make sure the arrow is gone when I shoot it anyhow.
2. I did not get as unbiased as Matt/PA by being blindfolded while shooting.(something about my wife not allowing me to shoot in the house with my eyes covered)Anyhow, the stabilizer did exactly what I hoped it would do, and that is balance out my 3-d rig. I can now hold the bow on the spot as good as I have ever been able to.
3. From the first shot, I suspected that the bow was slightly quieter than before. After switching back and forth several times with my favorite 30" stab., I am now sure that the 24" stealth is quieter, and slightly less shock on a bow with no shock to start with.
I am so impressed that I start digging out some of my most violent bows to test with several types of stabilizers.(this was`nt the best move on my part. Up till now my wife thought all those camo bows were the same bow.) I explained to her that all guys have at least 10 bows!<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>In every situation, with every bow, the stealth was quieter, and on the most violent bows there was a huge difference in felt recoil/handshock.
4. The stealth showed slightly better results than my favorite stabilizer brand, and much better than the others I tested. I won`t go into brand names, as all of them are of good quality, but in my limited testing, only one other brand came close to the Stealth in noise/shock reduction.
I did shoot 4 different bow brands, and 5 different stabilizer brands, so I did get a fair comparison as to the quality of this product, IMO.
Last but not least, I want to thank Matt/PA for bringing this product to my attention, and I want to thank Jerry from Stealth Archery for building this stabilizer to my specs and getting it to me in record time.
I will be shooting this stabilizer in bedford, Ind. at the IBO this weekend, I will have to avoid my stabilizer sponser now!<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

Big Country,
Your probably in Indiana right now (let us know how you do), but I just wanted to say I got the 12" stealth for my Ultratec and really like it.
With all the big dogs out of town this weekend maybe I can win the local shoot.
Good luck in Indiana

I`m not there yet. Won`t be leaving till about 3am. And it does`nt matter if half the guys in your area are in bedford this weekend, if you win a 3-d in Ohio, your doing good. Man, there are a ton of good shooters in the buckeye!

RE: STEALTH CUSTOM 3-D STABILIZER
Well the turnout was better than I thought it would be at New Concord (alot of guys shot Bedford Saturday).
With nothing new except the Stealth stabilizer I shot a 329 out of 350 from the MBR stakes and was leading with just a few left on the course.
The new turkey target cost me a 5 , but other than that things went pretty well for me.
If I could just get up in the 340's I'd be happy.( think I'm gonna have to buy some turkey targets to practice on ! )
