Stabilizer choice??
 
I' m needing a new stabilizer for hunting. I have a limited edition stabilizer made by bodoodle for 3-d shoots, but it' s too long and gets in the way when trying to maneuver around the woods. I have a PSE Firestorm LC. Any suggestions??

I have the NAP Shockblocker and it seems to be sufficient!
I remember reading about a stabilizer that is offset in order to stabilize the weight of your sight , it offsets to the opposite side as your site. Does anyone have any info on these?

BOWFANATIC, I think the stab you are thinking of is made by Toxonics
Toxonics bracket
It is really just a bracket to offset the stab.

If you are looking for a hunting stabilizer that improves the performance of the bow without excessive size or weight get the Lore from Carolina Archery. It isn' t a balance weight, its more like a tuning fork with damping properties. Its short and light for hunting, but it works. I put one on my Hoyt and it really smoothed the shot. This stabilizer works.

In the world of stabilizers there can be only one - Vibracheck. They have several hunting models, all good choices. 1. Isolator, short fat light. 4.5" to 9.5" long. Also a carbon version, skinnier and lighter. 2. Isolator, short, skinny, light 6.5" long, 6oz. 3. Icon - strange looking job 7" long 7oz. I personally use the isolator 7.5" @ 10 oz.

Well you knew I had to do it.....right Bigpapascout?;):D
I' m gonna also vote for Stealth Archery' s " Hunter" model.....probably a 6" in your case.

Its what works for me.;)

HEY! I know what your talking about! I have a v-bar from Cobra. It was about 20 bucks and I took the main attachment, removed the right side (for left hand remove left), flipped it upside down and bolted it to the front stabilizer mount. This placed my 10' ' X-Ring stabil. about an inch and a half off to the left. I shoot a Mathews Conquest 2 (sweet) and my sight bubble seems to fall on level natuarlly now. When on the range I shoot a 26" stabil. and I am right on the money. Just remember that the shorter the stabil., the less the offset effect. I also have a rear-mount v-bar that offsets to the left and combined it is all I need!

In my shop we allow the customers to try all the stabilizers. This way they can pick the best for the bow and themselves. No one, unless they have the EXACT same set-up and bow as you, can tell you which stabilizer is the best.

Even most manufacturers don' t attempt this effort, since the accessories put on a bow always vary from customer to customer.

A Stabilizer for Hunting in the Woods
 
If you are hunting in the woods a short light stabilizer that actually works is the Lore. It might be half the weight as a twelve ounce stabilizer but it acts like one twice its size. I believe Bowzone tested stabilizers last year and the Lore outshot the rest. The point is this stabilizer works and it saves half a pound and it helps your bow to shoot better. I put a Lore on my Hoyt MT Sport last year. Did it help? Yes. Did it take away alot of the handshock and vibrations in the bow? Yes. Did it improve my groups? Yes.
