    For those of you that have the Destroyer did you buy a stabilizer for it and do you really notice a difference with it? If so, which stabilizer did you get? I bought my Destroyer 340 without a stabilizer since there is such little vibration/shock already. I tried the stabilizer from my old bow but didn't notice a difference in shock with or without. I'm wondering also if it really helps on your accuracy.

    I have the 7" Octane stabilizer on both my Destroyers... honestly, I use them for looks as I don't like the aesthetics of a bow without a stab on it that much.

    If you truly want to affect accuracy levels, IMO you really need to get out to an 11.5" stab -- at least. Anything akin to the normal "bowhunter" stabs are more for vibration-reducing effects or, in my case, cosmetics.

    I put the octaine 11.5 on my 340. I don't notice much difference at short yardage. But out past 45 yards I find it helps take alot of the sway out of the bow. Improved my long distance quite a bit.

    I used a 11.5 Octane on mine and played with the weight at the end.I believe I ended up taking one weight off and then added a BowJax MaxJax on the end for looks like Greg/MO said.

    I used the octane and the 7" hunter from stokerized both worked well for me.

    12' Doinker Dish on my Invasion works great!

    I use a Stokerized SS1 on my Invasion which work's well and a 12'' 14 oz. B Stinger on my Destroyer 340 that is amazing! It took awhile to get used to the weight but now I couldn't do without it, IMO a stab. must go out to at least the limb pocket's with the bulk of the weight out on the end . I would suggest either stabilizer. Try them out if you can! Good Luck!

    I'm using the octane 11.5" on my dz-32. Close range, not much difference, out past 40 is where it makes a difference. I also added six 2oz b-stinger weights to the end. It's a little heavy, but well worth it to me.
