Bee stinger kit

[NEhunter]

Any one running something like this on their bow for hunting? Seems interesting but I was just wondering what others thought? Is it a pita for spot and stalk style hunting? Too much weight to carry around all day strapped to your bow?

I've been looking at the same stabilizer kit, but kind of had the same thoughts as you. Even thought about running a 10" out front & a 6" sidebar so it doesn't stick out as much on the side.

Works great for 3D. Dont mind spot and stalking with one. It just sits on the back pack weird if you keep your arrow/quiver side out.

I run the system on my hunting rig. It is especially helpful if you shoot a bow quiver to help balance the bow. I run 5 ounces out front and 3 ounces on the side. I doesn't bother me for spot and stalk as my accuracy is increased more than what any down side would be.

Hey... If it helps improve accuracy then it's worth the extra weight.

This is what I was thinking about doing. I have a 6" stinger and was going to grab the 10 and a side bar mount and set up just like that.

I have an offset mount instead of using a back bar. This keeps it simple, but you give up some front/back adjustment.

Feel like this would just add weight, and also make it harder to lash the bow to your pack.

I have the 8.6 backordered. I also ordered a 3" extension bar to put some weight on and test out the back in place of a stabilizer in hopes of keeping it a little more compact. I've never played with offsets or back bars before but I can tell with the last two bows it would help.

I have not had any issues with lashing mine to a pack because of the side bar. I also only added a couple of ounces. Without the side bar I ran 8 ounces out front, now I run 5 out front and 3 in the back. The only added weight was that of the bar, which is about 2.5 ounces. The balance, sight picture and accuracy was well worth it for me.

RosinBag do you run a 10" and 8" or?? Thanks

Might have to try this.

8" and 6", the adaptor adds about an inch to both though.

 

[Slim Jim]

Doug, have your groups tightened up? Really thinking about getting the 8.6

 

[Evan Williams]

With slight modification ;-) yea

I have the 10/8 setup. Still playing with weights but 3 oz out front and 6 in the back. No Bow quiver yet though...New bow this year.

Every intention of hunting with it.

 

[Jtelarkin08]

I run a 10 up front and depending on the bow a 8 or 6 out back.. Love me some bee stingers

 

[Evan Williams]

15 in front w/ buddies 2.5" extension and a 12" back bar. 1 oz front 3 back holding GREAT

 

[rhendrix]

I run a 10" out front with 2 ounces and a 6" with 4 ounces on my sidebar. Playing with the angle on the side bar right now, but this gives me the best hold.
