Looking for opinions and recommendations on side/back mounted stabilizers for hunting. Thinking something in the 10-12" range with enough weight to help balance my bow a bit when I'm at full draw. I was looking at the Bee Stinger Sport Hunter Counter Slide. Thoughts? Experiences? Opinions?
If you are just looking to off set the weight of your sight, rest, quiver hardware / quiver the counter slide would work well. If you are looking for any additional stabilization I would look into a back bar mount and bars in the 6 to 8 inch range, perhaps up to 10 inches. I prefer an actual back bar mount as it is much more adjustable than the counter slide. I have used B-stinger stabilizers and mounts exclusively for the last few years and have been pleased overall. Here is how I have them set up on my bow. Last couple years on the Halon and Halon 32 I only ran a back bar, no front bar. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk
Yes, it is the standard b-stinger mount. I do however replace the 1/4" Allen head screw with a stainless one. On this bow (a 32" RX-1), I have 5 ounces of weight on an 8 inch back bar. The front is a 10 degree quick disconnect with a 10 inch bar with 3 ounces. On the Halons I ran a 10 inch back bar with 5 ounces of weight.
I run a similar setup to buckeye. The B-Stinger makes it pretty simple to play with in and out and swap lengths and weights. By the start of antelope season my back bar was swung way in from where I started.
I run 8" backward and 10" forward. It helps settle the jump I struggled w/ due to a speed cam set up. I like it for the longer distances as it helps balance the bow. Sent from my XT1710-02 using Bowhunting.com Forums mobile app
I just run a stokerized ss1. After attempting indoor, I have to shoot my hunting bow with some side weight to it
I've used a 10 inch front and 8 inch back bar on my last 3 bows. I like the fact that I can close my eyes while drawing and know that my bow will be level at full draw. I can count on one hand how many times I've looked at my level before shooting a deer because it was once. Lol when that one single moment of Truth comes I like the peace of mind of not having to think wether or not the bow is level. The counter slide is based off of the SS1 that Francis mentioned from Stokerized. This will create the same effect with a seemingly cleaner mount and likely keep overall weight down a bit.
The Stokerized Stasis edge will offer the same amount of adjustability as using both bars. If you were set on the counter slide then Buckeye is right the combo mount would be the most adjustable.
I have several friends who run roughly the same setup as Buckeye and they all love it. For me I prefer a counter slide. I feel like it helps offset the weight of my HHA Kingpin the best. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Bowhunting.com Forums mobile app
