How important is a Stabalizer?
 
On a scale of 1 to 10.

10 being important as a broadhead.

1 being important as pink socks.

I voted 1. It is all about what feels best to the shooter. Some guys like to add weight while others just want extra vibration dampening. Some want both.

I use the Sims Mini S-Coil stabilizer. More for dampening purposes than anything else though. As heavy as the Vectrix XL is, it doesn't need more stabilization.;):D

I had to vote three, just because they can be useful. I put an s-coil on my switchback xt just for vibration dampening. The thing is so well balanced that I did not feel adding weight was needed. I have not shot it without the s-coil, so I can't speak to how much that is truly needed. I just figured it would look naked without it when I was buying, so that is what I went with.

For sure PT. But I'llbe honest, I like my bow beingheavybecause it really does make itstable when shooting. That bow seriously spits them!!All I have to do is carry it to my stand. It sits in the bow holder of my LW, so the weight isn't an issue tome while hunting.;)

Dude, pink socks are like super important. So I vote 1 !!!
I knew it![8D]:D

Getting back to the regulary scheduled program.... I have a question. On a lighter weight bow, does the added weight of a stabilizer help at all in quieting the shot???

If you are shooting down from a treestand they would seem to lose all of their stabilizing effectiveness. The weight is no longer out front but hanging down at some angle. I don't use one myself but if I did I would get a super cool looking one that had some noise dampenening function also.

In the old days when bows shot 180 fps and were noisy as hell, they help.
On new bows that shoot 250+ I dont care how noisy it is, the arrow will be there quicker than I would do Jessica Alba, If you keep it under 25 yds.
And I dont care how quiet your bow is, at 25+ yds, in the woods, a deer will hear it coming.

New bows dont need them.
