Stabilizers cost and purpose?
I' m going to add a new stabilizer to my bow. I' m shooting a Mathews FX and would like to add a quality stabilizer that won' t break me. Can you guys give me some preferences and costs. I' ve looked at the Doinkers, but really don' t know much which way to go. I know stabilizers are supposed to dampen the shock of a bow, or at least I think tht' s what their purposes are. Any help is great. Thanks

RE: Stabilizers cost and purpose?
Their main purpose is to balance a bow to provide steadier aiming. They' ve evolved into serving a dual role to include vibration reduction.
For balance, best bet is to find a pro shop that will let you try several different weight/length combos, as what works for me may not work for you, we all hold the bow a bit differently. Choose the size that best suits your style.
For vibration dampening, I don' t think you can beat the Stealth, HIGH quality and reasonably priced (around $35)

I agree with Range, they have evolved to absorb noise and vibration. GKF Tranquilizer uses Sims vibration rubber inside of it to do both. They are a great choice for target and hunting.
