Who hunts with their front stabilizer off set by a mount to the side to counter the sight/quiver wieght on a bow. Dose anyone shoot the Strokerized SS1 stab?
Just looking to see who uses what guys are using and their experiences.

This year I used my stabilizer offset with a bracket, was great when quiver was on and loaded with at least 3 arrows but I ended up shooting without my quiver on as I took it off my bow before the shot more often than keeping it on. Thinking of going with something like the Strokerized system for my next bow

Yes I use an offset bracket and it works great. Simple but effective.

Good way to offset your stab without having all the weight of a back bar.
 
My results with the offset bracket are the same as yours. Not really interested in using a back bar, however, the Strokerized SS1 types of stablizers have peaked my interested. The concept seems sound but I am wondering if they eliminate vibration and help with stabilizing the sight picture better then just an upfront stab as they claim. Anyone have experience with them?
 
Check your bow itself. I noticed just today that my CE's stab mount is offset in the riser as it is.
 
I used only a back bar this year. Identical length bars create the same moment arm, front or back. With the design of most risers now they are weight forward. A front mounted stab increases it whereas a back bar only, will offset both the riser weight and the sight weight.
 
I shot with an SS1 for a few months. Didn't really notice much of a difference so went back to my B-stinger. I don't have much cant one way or the other,but might help with your problem.
 
I have used a sidebar the last several years but I ditched it this year. I just think it is something extra to have to keep up with. I do agree some bows balance really well with a back bar and no front bar. So that's always an option. I may go back to one before it's over but I doubt it
 
I used an ss1 for several years. Really liked it. Didn't do much for stabilization but did offset the quiver well. Had it on a Z7X. I shot really well with it. Converted to a Prime Alloy this year and went with a full Bstinger 10/8 combo setup and the sidebar offsets the quiver well. Getting ready to take the quiver off and reweight for 3d season. Can't tell you how well I shoot with it as I am shooting terrible due to some significant target panic issues.
