Hello all,

I have a question about the Hunter Class stabilizer rule.
I understand the one 12 inch stabilizer, from nearest point of attachment, rule, with this exception: Are back weights allowed if attached to the back of the riser.

For example:
I was told that in addition to my 12" front stabilizer, I can attach my 5 oz. doinker to the back of the riser.
This has proven to enhance the balance and performance of my bows, with regard to my set up.
The more people I ask this question to, the more different answers I get back.

I look forward to an offficial answer so I can put this to rest.

Thanks
Gady

this is not an official answer to your question, but, according to the rules on the ibo home page, as i understand them, only one stabilizer is allowed in the hunter class. look under classes and definitions. it is pretty cut and dried......the rule you are talking about could be a local club rule, but not an ibo rule......as stated, one, and only one......good luck.....
