Hunting stabilizer length?
 
What length stabilizer does everyone use for hunting?

I used a stealth 8" last year, and really liked it.

But I am so used to using longer sticks for 3-d and field stuff that I tried a steath 10" on this years hunting setup. And I like it a little better than the 8" .

Probably just me, the 8" is just as quiet, and recoil free, I just like the weight out a little farther.

How about you guys?

I don' t notice any real difference in my setup, but I just put a 7" on.

Hey BC,

First off, its good to see you posting again.


As far as my stabilizer goes, I am using a 7" Doinker Stealth Hunter. Its the best stabilizer I have used to date, but, I havn' t tried the Stealth. I am still considering getting a Stealth just from the reviews of you guys.

8" Stealth also.
It' s the best I' ve found for noise and shock reduction.

I' m using the NAP 7" Shockblocker right now. Seems pretty quiet and recoil free, but--as you know--Razortecs are already that way! [8D]

I use a 10" shockblocker for both hunting and 3d since I shoot the hunters 3d most of the time. I prefer the 10 - 12 inch range.

I really haven' t noticed a difference in my shooting between my 10" stabilizer and my 36" stabilizer.

I use the 8 inch Stealth Hunter when deer and turkey huntin!
With the 8 inch my bow just fits in my bow case and I dont have to worry about taking my stabilizer on and off.......seems like Im always runnin late on those morning hunts!!!!!! hee,hee....how about you guys?
I shoot good groups out to 30 yards with the 8 inch and most of the time my shots at whitetails and turkey are " MUCH" closer.
I have found that at longer ranges ( 30 to 50 yards) I group much better with a long stabilizer, ( as most of us do). Im goin antelope huntin in western NE in august and will have a 12 inch Stealth 3-D stabilizer on my bow as the odds of taking a 30 yard plus shot at a " Lope" are pretty good!

I useed the 10" Stealth last year and will be using it again this year. It is excellent for noise reduction and vibration reduction.

I' m using a 2" Doinker D2.[:' (] It' s not the size of the boat, its the motion in the ocean.[X(] Oops! Nevermind. Anyway, I shoot a Mathews Legacy which is pretty well balanced for my purposes. (Hunting and 3D) So I just use a little stabilizer for recoil/sound reduction.:D

8 - 10 - 12 inches? WOW ;)
