The best advice I could give you would be to go to a pro shop and see if they will let you try out their different stabilizers. Most will work to help maybe balance the bow and take some of the vibration and noise out of the bow that the arrow will not do. Each stabilizer is geared to do the same thing, but some work better than others with certain bows or set up. Almost like buying a bow, try before you buy to find the best for you and your set up.

i went through a few different types before purchasing my stokerized, by far the bast stab. i have used so far. the limbsavers were more dampners than anything else but i noticed better holding with the 6" stoker.

The 3 inch stab your ordered is more of a dampener then a stabilizer. Most bows that are on the market now have very little vibration even without a stabilizer. So a dampener will make the shot feel better but won't really help you hold a tighter pattern when you are aiming.

If I were you id get a longer stab that you can add or remove weights to. My overall stabilizer length is about 12 inches. I have never had a problem bumping it in to stuff in a tree or a blind.

The whole purpose of a stabilizer is to increase your moment of inertia MOI
If your MOI is low then it is unforgiving if it is high it will be forgiving.

The longer the rod then the less weight you have to apply to the end of the stabilizer. You want to have the weight at the farthest point away from the bow.

One way to tell if you have the right amount of weight to balance your bow is how your pin moves when you are aiming at full draw. Also shooting at longer distances will help you find out what you need and what makes your groups the smallest.

If your holding weight is to low then your pin will be pretty choppy and unpredictable. With not enough weight the little muscles in your body will be able to slightly move the bow. Also see if relaxing your grip more helps it smooth it out.

If your holding weight is to high then it will take a long time for your sight picture to settle down and will make bigger sweeping motions.
