I agree 100%. I tried one last week on a Tribute I was testing and found it basically useless.I also use a Stealth and after trying a few recently have come to realize just how effective the Stealth are. Try one you won't be dissappointed.

I use a 10" AEP on the 2" quick disconnect for a total of 12" on my hunting/HC bow (the Allegiance). For my open class/spots bow (Consitution) I have a 31.5" doinker carbon elite.

I have shot the s-coil and it works, have u used it , cause if you have you would see that it works as both

Actually, I have used it and is IMHO great for dampening vibration and quieting things down, and a good choice for an economical hunting stabilizer. It will not however get the weight out and away from the bow to help slow down and minimize range of motion - i.e. pin/scope float. Go screw in a 12" AEP or 11.5" doinker elite on the front of your bow and see how much the pin/scope floats on a 60 yard target as compared to a s-coil. You will see that getting the weight further from the bow like this will help you control that float and range of movement. There is an awesome link on this topic somewhere out there that explains a LOT on stabilizers, but the search is down on AT.com and I can't seem to find it on here. Maybe I will post if up later if I can find it.

10" Fuse!!! Works great and has awesome balance!!

I have used it, for I own one. The S-coil is a marketing lie, because it does not stabilize the bow in drifting sights or weight distribution. The only this the S-Coil does is dampen the noise and reduce shock. It is simple as that. The only reason Limbsaver markets it as a "stabilizer for a affordable price" is that it fits in your stabilizer area, making it really an extended piece of navcom, not a counter weight. There is a big difference in the definition. And because I have one, I can definately say it does not work as a stabilizer, it works for noise and shock softner. Again, big difference in definition and the actual purpose that the S-Coil does and a real stabilizer will do to your shots.

I alsouse the Stealth and really like it

I just replaced my old (95) steel 6 inch stabilizer with a 7 in. NAP 500 and love it. Very quiet and helped balance the bow, used to lean back , now the bow stays straight up and down

After reading this thread and getting somewhat educated, I changed stabilizers on my bow. I took off a 5" Vibracheck gel and put on a 7" Alpine Pro-flex with a forward weight. What a difference! The vibracheck really didn't do much to stabilize my bow at all. I guess I didn't really know what pin float was until it was gone. My bow doesn't need much in the way of vibration absorption and I found out what a stabilizer is for. Now do I stick with the Alpine or experiment some more?
Thank you to those of you who made it clear what a stabilizer is for. I noticed a marked improvement in accuracy with the forward weight and longer stabilizer. Man it pays to be on this site!
