i put a limbsaver one on my recurve to cut back on vibration and noise. i dont think adding a stabilizer makes the bow any less traditional! its still the same bow and your still using the same skills!

True, and you could add a set of wheels and cables on it and still be traditional I guess.

if you were not using sites, it would still be a feat

My Martin Hunter has the bushing so I just tried the short Cobra stabilizer I had on the compound out of curiosity.I didn't see any improvement in my shooting and didn't like the added weight or the feel/balance.Same goes for bow quivers.
