Stabilizer...to use or not to use. that is my question

[wlo11]

I just got a new bow that is relatively heavy, at least compared to my Mathews Hyperlite. Jerry at RBO set it up for me and after both of us shot the bow he said I may not even need to put a stabilizer on it. Maybe for longer shots (which i probly will be taking here in NV) but inside 30 yds he didnt seem to think it was necessary. I shot it today at 20 and 30 yds with no problems. My question is how many of you shoot without one?

I have always used a stabilizer especially for western hunting where longer shots are often necessary. I have been using a 11 inch octane. However, due to a recent rib injury, I have taken the stabilizer off to decrease the overall weight in my left hand. I shot at 30, 40, and 50 tonight and was very pleased. I will be shooting it at longer distances tomorrow to see how it does.

im going this weekend to chase some antelope and it will give me a chance to shoot my bow at long distances. I think I'll hold off buying one until I see how it shoots out there

i like em just for long distance shooting and vibration dampening

I think it depends what bow.. I never shot one on my DXT.. Just had a sniper light on it. But the new Carbon Element seems to feel just a tad better with one on..

Youll never catch me without one. Heavy bow or not.
