1. What length of stabilizer is best for hunting?
Bee Stinger offers a wide variety of different lengths and styles of stabilizers that may be used for all the different types of hunting situations. The 6, 8 & 10” Sport Hunter Xtreme models are the most popular. Bowhunters looking to extend their maximum effective shooting distance have found the Xtreme Kit or the new Counterslide to enhance their long distance capability. As a rule of thumb, the longer the bar, the less amount of weight is needed to achieve maximum stabilization.

- If you’re struggling to keep your sight aperture aimed in the center and you feel like your sight is pulling you down, your set up may be too heavy. Try lightening the overall set up or adding a back bar with additional weight to lighten the front end of the bow.
- If you’re getting an up and down sight movement, you may need to add more weight to the center stabilizer or if you’re shooting a back bar, try adjusting it to different position. The slightest adjustment to the angle of the back bar can make a difference in how the steady your sight picture is.
- If you’re experiencing erratic movement that is difficult to slow the movement, you may consider adding more weight to the stabilizers. This added weight will slow down the sight movement allowing you make a steady and relaxed shot.
- If you struggle maintaining a centered bubble, the addition of a side stabilizer or adjusting the angle of a side bar will help level your bow.
