    Alright so after thinking the octane 7 hunter was a good stabilizer I have gotten two of them so far and both of them have a loud vibration noise when I shoot, I don’t know if I’m just getting junk ones or they just suck all around. But I’m just trying to figure out what other ones are out there that people seem to like.

    I am switching to the Pine Ridge Nitro this season. Seems to do a great job with vibration dampening and noise.

    Dont forget that stabilizers are disigned for bow stabilization. It's just a bounus that they can dampen vibration. I have an octane stablz. on my insanity and it doesnt seem to make any loud sounds. When I look buying a new stabilizer, I see how it makes my bow feel and how it "fits" my bow. What I mean is that some stabilizers effect bows differently than others. I also shoot open handed, and after I release, I like the bow to fall forward. The way a stabilizer makes my bow falls after a shot is another thing I really look for. My advice is, find the right stabilizer for you and if it lessen's vibration, icing on the cake.

    Kerry's are the best I have tried. I have a Tech 7 + KSB (Z7), Tech 5 (Z7X) & Tech 3 (Heli-M) on my bows. Try a KSB string stop to dampen you bow.

    I put an 6 " Axion on my bow. Then I tried a Tech 5 and it was a noticable difference. Ktech gets me vote.

    I just recently switched from a Limbsaver s-coil to the new NAP Apache 8". They seem to be exactly the same when it comes to the noise and vibration, but the Apache is so much better at keeping the bow balanced through the shot. I'm definitely sold on it and can say you won't be disappointed.

    My 8" Apache has served me well. Almost a year and a half old and 3 bows, around 15,000 shots later, I can't complain. Dampens noise very well and if my bows ha any vibe, knocked it right out. I may drop it to the 5" as this Centroid doesn't need the balance part the others have needed.
