Bee Stinger Stabilizer

I have a Bee Stinger and its a longer one. I'm not sure if its 10" or what, but the only problem I have is I have to take it off to fit in my bow case which kind of sucks. If that's not a problem then I would tell you to go as long as possible. The more weight you get out in front of the bow will help immensely, especially in wind for longer shots.

I believe I have the 10". I can add and remove weight if I want but I leave them all on. I shoot a Hoyt charger which is a smaller bow compared to others. I have a long draw (monkey arms) and I shot many times with and without the stabilizer. For me, I notice the difference with the weight hanging out front. Seems to slow everything down for me (stabilizes!) when at full draw. I also notice more control when practicing in wind. I would say buy one and shoot a ton, if you notice no difference or don't like the feel, bring it back or try something different. Best of luck!

10" Stinger will be sitting on my doorstep when I get home today. Tomorrow we field test. Thanks again for the input boys!

I have a 6" bee stinger that I really like and I hunt from a stand and a blind

Well the new stabilizer showed drastic improvements at 40, 50, and 60 yards. Need to adjust the sights a bit of course, but wow did the groups tighten up

Come ON! Are you shooting a Martin Warthog from 1985?

Psychological gains are still gains my fellow man of science. I was shooting more confidently with my fancy new stabilizer and I therefore shot better. Or this thing is made of magic. Either way I'm happy

ha ha ha - indeed - carry on!

That would be false. Almost the opposite.

You need to separate out the vibration killing function of some stabilizers with that of actually stabilizing your bow/shot sequence. They are two different things.

There is a better argument that any stabilizer less than 6" will offer little stabilization benefits. unless you are adding over a pound of weight.

Sometimes the trade off is worth it. If I am high country mule deer hunting or something like that I might look at setting up my bow with a short stabilizer that only focuses on vibration dampening and practicing with the bow that way. It would eliminate 10-16oz on my bow. However, my comfortable range might be shortened up some if practice shows opened up groups.

Youre probably right. I think it was either Field and Stream or Outdoor Life. Their tests aren't always the most scientific.

Glad its working for you!

A little late, but I have a 10" sport hunter. I tried a Pro Maxx with the bigger diameter weights and they caught the wind more so I traded for the sport hunter. It definitely helps me at longer distances, but maybe thats just me and how I grip the bow.

I also run the 10" off the front with 6"off the side with 3x the wieght off the back end,dont believe its needed for the hunt,but I also shoot 3d with this setup and its does shine there.
I did stalksd muleys with it plus the 5 arrow tight spot,really didnt hinder me,also have the qd bracket for quick removal if needed.
Martin Warthog,Dukes of Hazard!!,always thought they were a pretty bow,had an early 80's Cougar mag,one of half dozen or so I kick myself for getting rid of!!Along with the Jennings forked lightning I started with!!

I just picked up the 8inch model today. I'm going to take it to the range tomorrow and see how it works.
