    I don't use a stabilizer. Unless I were to put one on for noise reduction I have found them useless, especially hunting out of a treestand, and my bows are plenty quiet enough not to justify one for noise reduction.

    I use one purely for vanity's sake because I think they make bows look better.

    Its all about what you shoot best using, if you shoot better with a stabilizer then keep it on and if you shoot better or should i say more comfortably without one keep it off. Personally on my current set up a shoot a very heavy 8 inch stabilizer.
