I'm thinking about adding a stabilizer to my bow. I've heard good things about B Stingers. Are there other stabilizers similar to a B Stinger that you have found to work well?
B-stingers are unique and I had good luck with them for target shooting. That said, they add considerable weight and I don't want to carry the extra weight on my hunting bow. I had an Oneida Black Eagle that was a bit out of balance, added a B-stinger and the thing became a tac-driver...the added weight out front and added resistence to torque was perfect for that bow. Years later, on my Hoyt Carbon Matrix, it feels too heavy...and I have experiemented with different weights for the B-stinger. On the Hoyt I have a carbon Fuse 6 inch or so and it's plenty for the Hoyt. Bottom line, they are a stabilizer that actually works, but worth testing before you buy...if possible.

You're right, it doesn't need weight to be a very sweet shooter. I'm sure there are target shooters who would differ, but my Matrix didn't like or need the B-stinger. It's perfectly happy being light.
