How much weight do you have on you 8in beestinger?

 

14". not too long and less weight needed than a shorter one.

 

12 inches is shorter then Your arrow sticking out the front of your bow. The longer the better if your looking for stabilization.

 

A 10 or 12" won't be to long for out of a tree stand but out of most ground blinds you will have to take the stabilizer off.... I hunt with a 15" BeeStinger and have no problems out of a tree stand but I have to shoot with out a stabilizer when in a ground blind, but I rarely hunt from ground blinds

 

I don't understand this. Do you not sit in the blind with a arrow knocked?

 

I'm running two out the three weights on mt 8" now. Great point on arrow length being longer than the stab. The only blind I use when bow hunting is the Barnett big mike so it's got plenty of room. I'm leaning towards the 12 but wanted some feedback. I'm shooting an experience and the bow doesn't need a stab for shock just wanting to try it for steadying the pin on longer shots. Thanks for the input and feedback.

 

10" front 8" out the back

 

This is what I am using and works great. But I have a Carbon Spyder Turbo.

I have a 15" front bar... as was said, your arrow will stick out further than that at brace.

 

If you only have 2 or 3oz of weight on your 8in stab just try adding more weight.

 

I use a 10'' and it is no problem at all. Could easily go 12''. I don't hunt out of a blind.

 

If you add length to the front, you'll want to add length to the back too.

And while another inch or two out front probably won't get in the way and bang into stuff very much more, it will on your back bar.

 

I currently use an 8" with QD making it approximately 9 inches, with 6 1 ounce weights. The extra weight made all the difference.

 

I use a 12" stabilizer and hunt from both tree stands and ground blinds with no problems.

 

Thanks for the input, I do not use a rear stab, my wife has been using my 8 inch bee stinger on her bow so I was thinking of trying a 10 or 12 and giving the 8 inch to her. I have an older style 8 inch fuse stab, but the rod is heavy with little weight out front.

 

The key is a balanced bow I went though this and I put a 12 on my prime and got top heavy and was missing low no matter what...so I put a sidebar on it which was good but started getting pretty heavy for hunting with the quiver and all so I went back to the 8 inch out front with a little more weight and itsee working great...my hoyt bow I have a offset side bracket with a 10 oz weight and I offset my stabilizer bc of the quiver that works very well bc the hoyt bows are so light! I like a little heavier set up

 

I just think one thing is going to lead to other thing and you will be buy alot of stabilizer stuff

 

I use a 10.25" B Stinger, I thought it would be too big also, .....no chance, it is perfect

 

I have a 10" Bee Stinger on mine, and I wish I had gone with a 12. It doesn't matter if you're in a tree stand or a ground blind. Your arrows hang out way more than 12" before you draw. I have a 32" draw, and I haven't had any issues yet. Obviously, you can't sit with your face pressed up against the window mesh, so just nock an arrow and make a few practice draws, so you know where to position yourself in the blind.

 

The purpose is to stabilize the rig in YOUR hand. Three different folks shooting the same exact rig could require different stabilization tools. As for as the 12" being too long in the stand or blind, I wouldn't worry about that at all...even with regard to the 8" - it might be plenty if you change the weight at the end.

I hope this gives you something to think about when you considering some of the opinions offered.

To the guys who are running a 10" up front with a 8" on the rear, are you shooting with/without your quiver? I have never ran a rear stab, but since I already own the 8 inch this setup sounds intriguing. Amazon has a good sale on the 10 inch pro and I could try it out with a no question return policy so I might go that route. Also I could play with the extra weight on the 8" to see if that changes the balance of the bow since I already have one. Thanks for the help and info.

 

I'm going to rear stab set up soon. I shoot quiver off, but my sight alone makes the bow tilt one way.

 

I like an 8" with 11oz of weight.

 

I hunt a 12 inch Doinker and it's not a problem at all in the stand. However, like has been said already, in a blind it's a different story. I have 3 blinds and remove it to hunt out of 2 of them because it gets in the way when I'm at full draw, and presents issues with potential shot placement.

 

The 8" is cheap on camofire today
