I've been experimenting with stabilizers and had a set of octanes on my bow and it was quite a bit heavier than my shrewd system. I'm told heavier the better but still experimenting. This will be my first year to shoot target, vegas targets. Figuring out the balance for me but like it when it doesen't move much in my hand. Just kinda sits there and slowly rolls forward after shot. Fun learning all these little things you need to know to make good consistant shots. I'm still not as smooth as I need to be but getting their. I shoot well but not awesome. Our local guy who is top dawg around here shot a 449 out of 450 with 40 x's, thats some serious shooting. I think its genetic archery gene or something. He always shoots that well in practice, awesome.

Sometimes it takes a while to find the right setup for yourself. Everybody is a little bit different so what works really well for someone else may not have that perfectly comfortable feel for you.
As far as stabilizers go, I have tried several different setups before I finally just decided to make my own. At the shops all the guys always seemed to have great suggestions as to what worked for them. Unfortunately being a woman made things a little more complicated for me. I am kind of a light weight and had a super hard time trying to hold up my bow with all of the extra weight of those real nice stabilizer setups. It made it really hard for me to be able to shoot more than a game without thinking that my arm was just going fall off at any time!:Cry: But I knew I definitely needed a stabilizer to keep my bow from jumping out of my hand. So anyway I decided to make my stabilizer out of the lightest weight arrows I could find. After a top notch cresting job from my friend Tom Rothrock at Lonesome Archery it looks absolutely awesome and it works perfect for me.
So anyway you may end up trying several things but you know when you find what works best for you.
Good luck in your endeavors,

well the rolling forward part you could add some weight to your v-bars

Well thanks for the info. Love you bow! Like the yellow on the stabilizer, nice color scheme. I like blue's and purples and yellow mixed all together. Back to stabilizers weight. I do know I need more weight! I'm a big guy and need some weight to smooth me out a little. I was checking out my genetically blessed archer's bow and it weighs around 12 or 13 lbs if I was guessing. He's a hoyt shooter. The octane set up 30" with twin 11.5 at rear, probably around 15lbs to guess. Feels heavy but was smooth and took out my twitchy movement.

I like POSTEN, balances fantastic.:wave:
