Im looking for a new stabilizer set up, are Bee Stinger stabs realy worth the money vs wick stick and doinker?

i think so. i run the premier plus on my 3d/target setup and i noticed an instant different over my old stabs. the had no flex at all, killed the vibration i was getting in my bow, and they settled on the target very fast. I also run them on my hunting setup as well. the thing i have learn time and time again for archery is what works for one may not work for another though. and almost everyone makes good equipment now

To be honest, and this is just my opinion, Bee Stinger and Doinker lead the pack in quality, fit and finish.

Please keep in mind that, very soon, Doinker will be made start to finish in the USA.

I too have shot a few “different” stabilizers over the years. Some cheap - some not so cheap. But when I really got a little more serious about archery, I started taking notice of how many archers around me were using Bee Stinger stabilizers. When I started shooting some 3D, I finally bought one. And in my case, there’s NO question it improved my shooting! In my honest opinion... they’re worth it. :wink::thumbs_up

I personally prefer the older Bee Stingers. I felt the quality was better (even when the weight had chips and dings all over them). I’ve had a new Bee Stinger for a month now, and I’m having to send it back to have it repaired (carbon rod is spinning). It happens, but I do miss their older products, which is basically the Hunter Max but better.

Yes and No. The conquest bars are better than the stingers. They make good stuff don't get me wrong, but not much better than most of the stuff on the market. The Conquest Archery bars are in a league of their own right now. Lighter and stiffer bars, better vibration dampening, multiple diameter bars, and the fit and finish quality is excellent. Their 500 Pro's are crazy expensive but their 625's are very reasonable and very light and very stiff.

Over the years I have shot different stabilizers and I always seem to come back to bee stinger. I just recently switched to their hex stabilizers and feel in love immediately. I know they are a bit pricey but in my mind I feel like they are worth the money. Maybe you can find someone you know that shoots with bee stinger stabilizers and see if they will let you test them out with your setup.

Bee Stinger Competitors. 30", two 12" back bars and a 10" back bar. Said the Competitor 30" is good for 10 ounce, wanting more weight go with the Primeir.

I have a old, old 30" Cartel that does just great up to 5 ounces.

Tried a Doinker Fatty Supreme once. No weights, turn my bow upside down. Got shipped to Hawaii - hopefully the new owner threw it in the ocean or volcano.
