I have the FX too, but find it very noisy. In fact, my neighbor says it sounds like a .22 cal rifle going off from next door. I have limb savers and string silencers on it, but the thing is just plain loud. My old Brownings were much quieter. I'm currently looking for another stabilizer to help reduce some of the vibration and noise. Do you have any tips on how to quiet the thing down.

I have that bow and I've gotten the best result with a 5"armoured doinker. I also have limb savers. The only way to quiet that bow is to have it in perfect tune and have the cam in the optimal position, if there it is nearly silent, otherwise it is loud. You need to request a tech sheet for cam position from Mathews and you need it tuned just right. For my setup I'm at 25/32nd's from the riser and about 3/16 on the nock point.

Guy's I bought a Stealth 6" stabilizer for my Patriot Dually to replace the Vibracheck Isolator and I found it to be the best Stabilizer I've ever used on any of my bow's . It definetly quieten's the noise and any vibration's you'll have .

Hey guys,
I don't shoot an FX or a Mathews for that matter so you'll probably want to take what I have to say with a grain of salt. With that being said, I shoot a Firestorm lite and have shot it with a couple of diffrent stabilizers. The best (meaning most versital with the best vibration dampening capabilities) stabilizer I have tried and because of proformance I am still using is the Sims Modular Stabilizer. It is by no means the cheapest stabilizer on the market but the proformance and quality of it makes the price well worth it.
My bow (set up with leaches and PSE NV system) was not loud by any means. I was happy with my set up but when I bought my bow the shop didn't have the modular in stock so I bought what the shop had in stock mainly because I just wanted to shoot. After shooting a couple of months (and letting my wallet recover) I decided to get the stabilizer I originally wanted.
I was absolutely amazed how well it worked. The diffrence on a bow I considered to be quiet already was night and day. The reduction in hand shock and noise were overwhelmingly noticeable.
It may not work for you bow but if the shop will let you shoot a few arrows with it on I'm quite confident you won't want to take it off. It is a great product IMO.

I got a FX also and needed a new stabilizer for it and saw all the models my dealer had in his store?
But only one had the same camo exactly!
The Tranquilizer by GK ,Looks great is lightweight and has SIMS Technology inside.
Put it on, WOW what a great working stabilizer!
