[QUOTE="jrock, post: 1100853, member: 78569"] I like to think of a stabilizer as two things, a vibration dampener and for balance. For balance, think of a tight rope walker, the longer the stick they hold, the better balance they have. Same goes for the more weight you have away from you, the more stability you will have. For dampening, the more mass you have at the end with a good rubber portion between the weight and the stabilizer shaft, the better dampening you will get. I use a 6" on my hunting bow and wouldn't recommend going longer so you don't get it caught on every branch you pass and so you can fit it in the bow case without taking it off. Mine is more for damping of the bow than balance. Ideally, for a hunting bow, I wouldn't use one at all as some bows now are so well balanced. [/QUOTE]
