Stabilizer Help - Bee Stinger Microhex Counterslide Opinions

[engelm]

Hi All,

I picked up a Mathews Traverse a couple weeks back and I still haven't decided on a stabilizer setup; I was hoping to get some ideas and suggestions here. I've just about pulled the trigger on a Bee Stinger Microhex counterslide a few times but haven't been able to find many reviews on them. I'm also torn between the 12" and 15" versions and was hoping for some firsthand feedback from people who have spent some time with them.

Alternatively, I could see myself ending up with a standard microhex stabilizer, probably a 10". I'm no expert and don't have access to many products locally so anything I want to try I need to order online. I've never used a back or side bar, and my experience is isolated entirely to an 8" stabilizer on my last bow.

Looking forward to hearing some suggestions, hopefully with some firsthand experience with these products! Thanks in advance!

I am just opposite of you. I have a 12" microhex counter slide , and am awaiting my bow shop to get in the Traverse. Keep us informed which way you go and how you like it.

Stokerized SS1 I think it is about the best compromise between weight and effectiveness.
Id prob get the 15" Carbon if I had to do it over again.
I have a 13.5 but that's exclusive to my archery shop.
They video my lower cam kick out and it def helps.
They make them in a 10" as well.
I like they offset the quiver to at least some degree

All stabilizers are overpriced for what they are, with the exception of the Bowfinger sidebar and back bar mounts. These are the best products I’ve found. Buy these mounts and the least expensive bars you can in the length you want and have at it

I’ve owned a Counterslide and liked it okay, but then tried a different system and ended up selling the Counterslide. I went with a front and back/side stabilizer from TAP (Titanium Archery Products). I’ve owned a few different B Stingers and a two different Stokerized and this is by far my favorite of all of those. It’s worth a look. Not cheap—but worth every penny in my opinion.

I owned the 12, and 15 inch micohex counter slide
I also have a 10in standard micro hexx.

I went with the 12" slide on one 31" bow. It has a two piece riser mounted quiver and the counter slide got me enough out front to slow my pin float and enough on the side to counter the quiver. I ran 1oz out front and two ounces on the slide. On this bow it replaced front bar and back V bar. Weight saving was 12oz total.

On a seocnd 31 " bow I expected to run the same set up however I went just 10" outfront in a micro hexx with 1 oz. This bow has tight spot on it and I felt I didnt need the weight on the side.

The 15" micro hex was too much out front for me as I felt I needed to run three oz out front and 6 on the side. It wasnt worth the weight. When go longer I should have been reducing the front weight rather gaining it, showed me I reached a point of negative returns.

The micro hex is a nice product btw.
YMMV

I have the 15 inch regular counter slide and I have tried the 12 micro counter slide and a 10/8 bar system and a 8/6 bar system (All by Bee stinger). I ended up staying with the 15 inch counter slide. I modified it a bit, I drilled out a new hole in the mounting bracket this allowed me to move the bar in closer to the riser. I liked how the counter slide balanced the bow with less overall weight than a front and back bar system. In addition, if you look at the specs on the regular counter side vs the micro hex counter slide. The regular counter slide bars weigh less than the micro hex version of the same size. My system is set up just for hunting. If you are shooting spots or 3d you may want a front/back bar system.

I am running a 12” micro hex counter slide on my triax with Mathews new two piece quiver and so far really like it. Mathews bows have always been top heavy to me and with the addition of the quiver it just gets worse. I tried a lot of options with this bow including a quivalizer, tight spot 3 arrow with different variations of front and back bars from both doinker and bstinger. The 12” counter slide has been the best compromise on weight and pin float for me. I am interested in trying the 15” but haven’t let go of the money yet. Cheers
