Default Stealth stabilizer (revised)

For those of you that own one and feel its the best. Tell me why you feel that way, give me your best but honest sales pitch. I have a new Switchback XT comming my way soon. It will be a companion to its sister the Switchback that I have owned for a year now. It will have the same toxonics top dog sight, but inproved for 06. The rest will be the same on both bows, theripcord drop away. Same goes for everything else except for the stabilizer, on my Switchback I have a limb saver enhancer 2000 teamed up with a limb saver modular system and topped off with a stabilizer enhancer on the end. All in all this set up works very well, and does a good job. But the only down side is the total cost of the three parts is about $115-$130 depending on where you buy it and thats a lot of money for a hunting stabilizer. Now as some of you know I have been working in a archery shop part time. I get paid in store credit and I can buy stuff with that credit at dealer price, so money isn'tthe realissue for me, but it seems to be a turn off to customers. They see my stabilizer set up and like it untilI tell them the cost. I have read some of you praise your stealth, but now I want to know why its so much better or just as good. I also want to know where I can buy one. I have asked my friend (Tom)who owns the pro shop and he has never heard of it. If I get it, I will see if Tom is intrested in stocking and selling them in his shop. I don't know who to contact about that, and I know I'll find out but any help would be welcomed. Toms shop was in the top 100 for Mathews dealers in the world for 2005, and the way the bows are going out the door each and everyday, this year will be no different if not better. If the Stealth is what its cracked up to be I know we could sell a bunch. Thanks in advance Jason.

All I can tell you is that they work. Plain and simple.

Here is their web site.

I like mine. As already said by Bigbulls it does exactly what its supposed to do. It balances my Patriot nicely and at the shot it has a gentle slight forward roll. As for vibration it also does an excellent job of absorbing that also. I have mine mounted with the heavy end out but you can also mount it reversed. I have recently had a chance to try a few others while testing 06 bows and see no reason to switch.Its now on its second bow and will be going on my next one also.

Hard to say, but I just installed the 6" Stealth on my Bowtech Patriot. Weighs 10 oz. and its plenty heavy enough for me. As dead in the hand as the SB XT is, I really don't think you need the 8" Stealth.

Do any bow shops cary them in your neck of the woods? If so how much do they cost? I think I want to try the 8"Thanks Jason

Doesn't this sound familiar. I am in the same boat as you. I tend to prefer to shoot a Sims combination on my bows but, except for a few individuals, the price versus rewards for such a setup is way out of the average shooter'sprice range. I have never tried the Stealth but have good things about it. I wish you luck in your endeavor to try/carry them. However, I thought I might mention that Sims has come out with some new Enhancer 2000/S-coil/Modular combinations that sell in the $40 to $70 price range. Still not "inexpensive" in the grand scheme of things but less than what one would pay to put something together like what you and I are using.

I am going to go against the grain here and say that I feel both AEP and Doinker make a better stabilizer option. I do like stealth, and feel they make a quality product but their weight systemdoes not allow you to get the weight out away from the riser which I feel is critical. I am now shooting a doinker 7" stablizer on my Allegiance and a doinker carbon elite 11.5" on my Old Glory.
