I've been doing alot of reading on the Stealth stabalizers and would like to try one. My question is I shoot a 2004 Patriot SC, 29" draw legth, 70lbs and am wondering which model would fit the best a 6"or the 8" model. My bow is set up basically as a whitetail hunting set up, I do shoot the occasional 3d shoot but nothing serious. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Brian

i've got pretty much that exact bow and i use a 12" stealth and like it. i haven't tried the smaller ones.

I use the 8" Stealth on my '03 Patriot and I think it's the perfect fit for me. I tried the 6" first but prefered the extra weight of the 8".

I talk to alot of archers about their equipment and get alot of feedback about what works well!
The 8 inch Stealth is avery popular choiceon that bow.

stealthman, welcome back to the boards. You must have been out trying to locate some big bucks!!!!!!! I left the elk alone this week and put a hurting on the huckleberry crop.

Now back to the topic. I went with the 8 inch as I like the feel of a heavier set-up. Both will give you the same feel just one will be a little heavier than the other. Get ready to sell the rest of your stabilizers after shooting a stealth.

I've got the 8" on my BowTech Patriot Dually and I also like the added weight on the front ,it's a perfect fit for me ,I've also had the 6" o this setup ,but the 8" feel's much better .

Well, I'll go against the grain here, Jerry made me a 4" 6oz for my Patriot and I like it a lot. Main reason I bought my bow was for the compact size and light weight. The 4" Stealth stays "inside" the limbs/riser and doesn't stick out past the limb pockets, therefore keeping the bow compact. Also for hunting, I prefer to keep my bow light since I do a lot of walking so I got the 6oz keeping my bow light weight.

I have thought about getting a 6" 8 oz model for shooting 3D or plinking in the backyard, I could see where the longer/heavier models would help in that scenario.

well, my wife corrected me, mine is an 8", not a 12". wishful thinking i guess.

Thank you to everyone for the great advice. I ended up ordering the 8" model. Now is the hard part waiting for it to arrive. I can't wait to put it into action.
