8° quick disconnect on front stabilizer benefits?

Hey guys,
I have a Hoyt RX7 with the 10 inch stabilizer in the front and the 8 inch on the back. I have that little stubby stabilizer that those Hoyts come with on it as well on the bottom mount in the front.
Do you think there would be any benefit adding that 8° quick disconnect for the 10 inch stabilizer in the front? Just curious with anyone else’s experience.

So, because you already have the "doinker" stab on the bow, using any offset quick disconnect on the longer won't make a difference. The point of the offset is to move the weight at the end of the stab down. Having more weight low helps in how the bow holds on target. With the stubby already mounted low, an offset on the upper bar won't do much. I use offsets on all of my Primes. As well, you can use that quick disconnect to move the forward weight side-to-side, reducing the need for a back bar to offset quiver weight.

Personally, with my RX8, I run the GoStix 2.0, with the legs open, and a 6" stab and it holds as well as any of my Primes.

Great info, thanks!

The only benefit I really see from having an angled front bar that goes downwards is it seems to settle my sight picture quicker when I'm getting to anchor. The left and right wiggle slows quicker. That being said, that's on my target bows and on the shorter stabilizers of a hunting bow I don't know that you'd see much of a difference.

The only thing about quick disconnects is that being able to eaily remove the stab so to fit the bow in a bow case.

I use a straight disconnect for front stab on my hunting bow and no issues.

I have straight disconnects and 10 degree disconnects for my target bows and can't tell the difference. I also have quick disconnects for the back stabs.

I've gotten to where I go with a single offset bar like a Bee Stinger Counterslide. I have found that I get much better balance with less weight.

On my freestyle bow I shoot a 34" bar with a 10 degree down angle. I think, with the longer bar, the down angle works better.
