What stabilizer setup is everyone running? Ive been looking at getting a 12/10" or a 10/8" micro diameter setup... want to hear opinions between some. Was looking at Cutters, Wickstick, Shrewd Vantage, Taps, conquest, cbe torx, beestinger microhex?

I'm using a 10" & 6". For me, the 6" back bar is a great size since it doesn't stick too far off the bottom to be annoying. Balances well.

I've recently started using Antler Ridge stabilizers based on all the good reviews. They are legit. Zero vibration. Zero noise. Pricey.

On a short bar you won't notice a difference, it's not long enough to flex. You want light and stiff for a stabilizer, thin if shooting in the wind. At 10" they had better all be stiff.

I generally like Shrewd stuff, however their vantage bars have a dampner between the rod and the weight stack, and they include that dampner in the length. If going Shrewd look at the S2 or the RevX instead of the Vantage.

I think at the lengths you are looking, you won't find much difference in any of the brands. I'd get whatever you can find for the best price, could add Dead Center to the list you are looking at as well.

The conquest hunter kit is/was the best value given when I got mine. I also use conquest stabilizers for everything and have been for several years now without issue.

yea i was thinking with the 10 up front due to once u add a QD u are over 11 for sure... although mostly hunt out of treestand, never know when might have to shoot out of a blind too. Ive shot some shrewd and cbes... but never shot any cutters or conquest. Buddy has antler ridge setup and its $$$.

Anyone had any experience with a HHA tetra setup? Found a good deal on a set of those

I’m running CBE Torx Micros. The mounts are amazing. I recently ordered Elite versions of the micro stabs, still in shipment.

I was running Bee Stinger Microhex and standards.

I'm with Billy Goat, brand doesn't matter much at shorter lengths. Look for price, small diameter.

I've been happy with Wickstick.

All things considered, they’re about a push. CBEs are priced a bit better. Bee Stingers are slightly smaller diameter (.5” vs .6”) and have thinner weights on the end. This is a fairly marginal difference. I also have a 15”/12” set of Torx Spyders on a bow also.

Titanium Archery Products are a decent deal pricewise. Pretty stiff. I went to a 15" front, 12" back from the BeeStinger 10/8 combo (Still in use on my other bow) I have been very happy with the setup. No bling and pretty effective. The weights are smaller diameter than the Bee Stinger weights also.

Sunya archery on Amazon.

Buy yourself a couple more tags this fall instead of an over priced piece of carbon and hunk of metal.

I have a wickstick micro 15, nice bar for the money. No side bar I just use weigths on the left side of the riser to off set sight and rest weight and balance the bow out.

I’ve been using a 10 inch micro hex on two bows now, been happy with it but part of me would like to tinker with adding a side bar and/or going trying a 12-15 inch front bar or even a quivilizer. I do like the small diameter
