Default What is a good short stabilizer to get?

My ATV holder doesn't allow for a big stabilizer to fit, and I'd like to get a good one that is short. I have the short attachment that screws into the bow (can't remember the name) that takes up a few inches, and was hoping for suggestions of a short one to use with it.

Thanks!

Do you just use the doinker, or the "donut" attachment too? Thanks

i just use the Doinker , it seems to work great without the donut end , it is really nice in the stand cuz if u bump it on something it will jsut bend and not make a loud noise ...

it seems to take a good bit of vibration and noise off the bow too , i use to have jsut an old school stabalizers that folded out , it was like carrying a steel brick into the woods , my bow was so loud with it , but with all the new sims stuff and the doinker , THEY WONT HEAR IT COMING!

I use the Sims modular 3 piece stabilizer. I use two in front and the third on the inside of the riser. http://www.eders.com/LimbSaver-Modul...2,281,298.html

I like it because is short and seems to work well.

It is the Sims donut I have right now. I will look and see what BassPro has tomorrow. I figure with the current donut on, I have enough room for 4 more inches of stabilizer, and one on the inside perhaps too. Good idea.

When I get my setup, will it shoot different, do you think, or can I assume it will be the same? Thanks! I won't have much practice time with broadheads before I go on my next trip.

Doinker D2 Plus Shorty Hunter..4 inches long..works like a charm..they also make a chubby hunter, which is like 2.75" long i think, maybe its 3. i've got two different doinkers, one for hunting and one for target shooting, and i love them both.

Thanks guys. I'm heading out to get one tomorrow. Should I expect to have to adjust my sights, or should my pins still be on?

Order a 4" Stealth from Jerry and you won't regret it. I have one on my Patriot & I love it.
