No worries, some guys use stabs on their trad rigs too, but I'm assuming you meant for your compound.

When I shot compounds, I used stabilizers for two things, for balance and to steady my pin. Because I always hunted with a bow quiver, I wanted my bow balanced according to my sight bubble at full draw (with 2nd/3rd axis set). To do this I used a very short side bar with enough weight to offset the quiver. To steady my pin, I would draw back and push/pull into my shot. If my bubble was "dancing", I added more weight. If my pin got "stuck" below my intended target and it took to much effort to elevate my pin, I would drop in weight (my pin starts a little low and as I push/pull, I elevate my pin up to the target with my hips.)

This worked for me with my hunting rigs.
