I had an Easton long stabilizer
and it worked very well for me.

I just started using the Big Dawg products,
and his philosophy of ultra light weight and stiff components
in order to reduce the amount of weight at the end of the stabilizer
really does work quite well.

The closed cell foam "dawg bone" also works very effectively
as a moveable weight, and also dampens vibration tremendously.

My Big Dawg long front stabilizer definitely has a very different
very good feel compared to my Easton.

Both work great, but the feel on the Big Dawg is just more vibration free.
You couldn't tell unless you use both side by side.

Tightening up the groups also helps too.
I think that is primarily due to the lower total weight of the stabilizer.

I would start w/ the reccomendations from friends. Let's face it, all the stabs on the market today will help steady your bow. Then, there's the vibration factor. Most will do this also. So then you go to the people running the company. Go w/ the people who will take care of you should there ever be a problem. I have been shooting the Doinker products for several years. Great product and great people. I personally know 2/3's of the people at Big Dawg. Same boat. Great people. Have heard nothing but good stuff about their stabs. But, I've got first hand knowledge of the Doinker stuff. ;)

All I have heard about Big Dawg's products is how great they are! I will be trying a bulldawg out before winter for my 3D setup.

I would shoot as many different types as I could from friends to companys and go with what felt best. I know AEP and Big Dawg both allowed me to put their set ups on my bow and shoot them at the range to see how I liked them. :wink:

AEP for me

I like Nunzio's stuff. He also really seems to know what to do for best balance, vibration reduction, etc. Lots of other good companies out there but AEP has always worked well for me.

Were I to change I would probably look either at Big Dawg or Bernie's Control Freak system.

Stabilizers

Pretty much all do the same. I try to find the best price for friends in archery and myself.

Big Dawg has a good stabilizer at a fair price. Besides there friends as well.

I would go to a "big" shoot that AEP is a at! And talk to Nunzio, he will find out exactly what you are looking for, offer suggestions and then set your bow up right there for you. Then he will tell you to go shoot it and see how it feels and come back if you feel it needs changing. All of this with out asking for a single .01$

Then you go back after shooting it and give him your $$$$, I seriously doubt there have been many go back and give back the stabalizers?? I didnt!

Another vote for AEP. I love the interchangability of the parts, quick disconnects, etc. The customer service is top notch, as well is the product.

I agree with JB on the marketing of Big Dawg, but can't speak towards the quality of the product.

Maybe JB and I need to come out with Big Johnson stabilizers ;)

I wanted to see what all the hubbub was about the Big Dawg stabilizers, so I called them and got my hands on one of their 32" stabilizers. I have always used Vibracheck's and X-Ring stabilizers on my target rigs and thought that there would never be a product that I would like more than them.

I'm here to tell you that Big Dawg has changed that preconceived notion for me! The Big Dawgs are extremely well made, they work Great without adding a lot of weight to my bows and their prices are way easier on my pocketbook! It just doesn't get better than that! :)

Big Dawg has a happy customer here in me and I plan to use their products for a very long time to come! :)

I'd would start in the corner of the barn on that one table and shoot with each one a group at 60 yards and see what one works best then just use that one.

kward,I would think that you already know the answer to the question.After all,you do shoot better than most on this site.The Hood gave a really good answer.I will also add my .02 cents.
I would look for a company that has proven technology and a good selection for all your needs.Doinker is a company that has it all.They make stabs in all lengths for target and hunting needs.They have the doinker technology to eleminate vibration and shock.They have weights and endcaps so you can get the feel and stabelization and balance you need for your set up.They have sidebars,v-bar rods and 4 dirrerent V-bar brackets as well.They make single carbon and multi rod stabs.They have supression mounts,eye bolts,off set mounts,counter weights and more.They have it covered.I am sure they can meet all your needs,for all your bows.I am sure they would love to hear from you.:)

AEP. Nunzio's stuff is top quality. You can get with him to try out as many different setups as necessary to get your bow balanced to your liking. Then buy what works. Nunzio ia also a genuinely fine man.
