Stabilizers
 
What would you guys recommend if you were looking to buy a new stabilizer?

I would recomend that you go to your nearest shop and test some out.Any shop worth anything will have a bunch of different stabilizers for their customers to try out.It all comes down to personal preference,i don't care what anybody tells you.If someone tells you a certain stabilizer is the best,that's their personal opionion.Only "YOU" can determine the best for you.:D

Agreed , only you know what feels best for you .
I went from A NAP Shock Blocker to a Sims Modular and I see no reason to go any farther , but then I'm shooting a 50# recurve and your set up is undoubtedly different from mine .

try out as many as you can. weight is also issue w/ a stablizer. if want no waite and just vibration dampning get the S-coil. other wise there are to many good to tell you what to buy. Simms, Vibra-Check, Doinker, Kyber,Nap, Stealth, ect......
Personally for hunting I use vibra-Checks 10 " carbon fiber. its your choice though.

Stealth stabilizers hands down. I have 4 of them and getting ready to order number 5. Jerry makes a great product.

A stabilzer 8 to 12 inches that attaches rigidly to the bow. Stay away from the rubber segmented stabilizers. The rubber will harden in extreme cold weather and change the tuning of your bow.

That's interesting. I have used the rigid stabilizers in the past and now use a 4inDoinker with theflexible rubber and I found no difference between the two.I have been in some very cold weather and the bow/s haveshot just asthey always have.

Iagree the extreme cold will stiffen up the rubber to some extentbut Idissagree on how it effects thebow's tuning oraccuracy.Yes the flexible stabilizers will be effected by the cold but so will everything else on the bow. It (the cold) can't effect one flexible item and not others like limbs, string, cables, etc...yet people shoot their bows incold weather everyday during the hunting season with no problems at all.

The bow will shoot fine no matter what type of stabilizer you choose. And yes the cold will effect it to some extent just like it will effect the rest of the bow.And justlike the rest of the bows components, the stabilizer will do what it's supposed to do...... heat, cold, rain or shine.

Choose the stabilizer that works best for you and don't worry about the weather.

I just bought a Stealth stabilizer two nights ago and should get it on Saturday. I talked with Jerry to verify my order.He is avery good guy to work with. I am going to order a special length/weight combo for an extra $15 if I like the stabilizer.

BigJ12, the little rubber stabilizers are fine for the recreational shooter or the average hunter. I'm talking about archers what the most accurate setup they can shoot. At 20 and 30 yards at a 12" circle and broom handle will work, but when you are looking a 4" pro ring at 60 or 80 yards, that's where the fixed stablizer makes the difference between a weekend warrior and a competative shooter.
