January 31, 20197 yr I’m thinking about upgrading my stabilizer. Right now I have a regular old vibration dampening stabilizer that came with the bow I shoot. I’m thinking about getting the BEE Stinger 10” stabilizer. What do you all use?
January 31, 20197 yr I personally like one that is about 4 to 6 inches long to hunt with . I know competition shooters have them as long as 2 feet but try working that around in a tree or blind . Simple is better in my opinion
January 31, 20197 yr I currently don't have one and to be honest it's probably been a mistake. I will be getting one this year and leaning towards a Bee Micro Hex in 8" or 10". IMO, 4" isn't long or heavy enough to do what a stab is designed to do so unless you are using it for vibration reduction only then it's pretty useless. I think most would be very surprised at how a proper stabilizer will change the way you shoot. It's one of those things that you don't realize what you were missing until you try it.

Mine has the standard 4" that came on it and I've always wondered if it really did anything.
January 31, 20197 yr Mine has the standard 4" that came on it and I've always wondered if it really did anything. It would be better than nothing but in the grand scheme it's not doing much. The purpose of a stab is to make the bow hold on target better. Most bows are top heavy to start. Then we add sights and quivers to the top half of the bow and on one side (same side) which makes the bow more top heavy and also side heavy and really unbalanced. Good stabilizers have the ability to add weights to make them heavier and lighter. They also have the weights towards the end which really helps to bring the weight distribution into balance. A lot of guys (all target archers) add side bars to the side/rear on the opposite side from the sight and quiver. I see more and more doing this on hunting rigs because the newer bows seem to really be balanced funky. Put it this way, Levi Morgan who is one of the best target archers in the world runs a front and rear/side bar on his hunting bows. I'm guessing that dude knows more about it than 99% of population so there must be something to it.

I did end up going with the BStinger 10 inch one. It was expensive but I can definitely tell that my pin is more stable.
February 16, 20197 yr Author Dude I’m going to go ahead and give my 100% endorsement. This is making a gigantic difference in how I’m shooting. Misses right and left have virtually been eliminated.

In my hand I can physically feel the bow wanting to tip forward. It’s straightened my arrow flight a lot! ...

February 23, 20197 yr Did you go with the Bee Stinger 10”? Yep. Was just gonna pick one up at Cabela’s, but they only had the 8” in stock. Did you get the quick disconnect attachment?

I’m not sure what the quick disconnect is, so I’m thinking I don’t have it lol. It’s the Bee stinger with the metal weights that are adjustable. How are you liking it?
