First off...What is the actual reason for a stabilizer? is it for you or recoil? or both

second..anyone use the Doinker 11.5 inch power bar for a hunting stabilizer..seems kinda heavy but should work huh?

1. To aid in the vertical stabilization of your bow. Some prefer the bow to rest perfectly in your grip, no tilting backwards or forwards.
Some would rather the bow tilt out a little,, its really up to you.

Some bows need more help then others, doesnt mean anything about the bow.

2. As far as vibration reduction? thats also up to you.

I use a 10" Doinker Multi-Rod on a Reflex Caribou xt4000 it needs it.
On my Mathews Conquest no stab is needed. I really prefer the Reflex though, as it is a much smoother bow.
When using such stabs for hunting I also like to use a quick connect.
Good luck with it all though.

stabilization and balance,

active stabilizers deaden noise and soak up vibration

What are you referring to by the term "active?"

To me, the purpose of a stabilizer is to get hung up in the brush while hunting.

Actually, I shoot the same with a stabilizer as I do without one. So mine is in the tackle box. I run & gun so I don't need that extra weight on my bow.

I guess at my age I should refrase that to crawl & gun.
