I can't think of any cons to using one, but I'll bet that if you practiced all year with a stabilizer on your bow, you don't want to go hunting without one on there.

I do. I guess the only con was stated in that it sticks out a tiny bit. Other than that Im not sure.

I hunt with one, you want the same feel when you hunt as when you practice. I used the s-coil as well and was very happy with it. Until I purchased the octane 7" and I believe it made quite a difference. More so than I thought it would.

Octane 7" on "the General". Im still undecided if I like that red insert though. But it does make a difference. I would beskeptical abouttaking it off now.

That thing's not a stabilizer, it's a vibration suppressor and that's about it.

Same basic idea....
http://www.bowhunterssuperstore.com/eastman-carbon-stabilizer-black-p-2804.html?osCsid=2ee213d35f89e825dc937fc361cb07af only a little cheaper, and not a "tacky" looking IMHO.

11.5" octane. the same one i use when i shoot hunter class 3d. people ask why hav eone so long, doesnt it catch on everything. and then i respond, what sticks out further than the arrow? its what i shoot with, and am comfortable with. most bows today dont really need to be any quieter, especially a general. it does improve stability at length, its just physics. the longer, the more stability.
