Stablizer
How long do you recommend? I know everyone will say it's the hunters preferece, buy I want to know you're opinion or your setup. Also what kind of string silencers do you recommend?

RE: Stablizer
It's not the size of your stabilizer but.......<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
All kidding aside, it is a personal choice that will vary bow to bow, hunter to hunter. This being said I seem to prefer shooting with a stab in the 7" to 10" range. Remember one of the reasons target stabs are so long are because the farther you extend that weight out from the grip the less torque you have. Of course a 30" stab just wouldn't be practical in a hunting scenerio. I like to find a stab in the range mentioned earlier and then take vibration control and sound dampening into account as the most important aspect of a selected hunting stab. For these reasons my personal preference is the GK Tranq with a SVL Module

RE: Stablizer
when it comes to length & weight it is all personal as Il-Corn said. Depending on your bow style, etc you can use amny variations of stablizers. Some good ones I have had a lot of good luck with are the Golden Key Tranquilizer, X-ring Sitka Flex, and the Queit Tune models. Currently I am using the Tranquilizer and it really removes the shock out of my bow.
