Thats what I'm using right now. This is the only stabilizer I've used, and tested a couple from vibracheck. Before I added it, my bow was makin an awful lot of noise, the cartel reduced that noise significantly and a bit more than the more expensive vibrachecks.

Found some of the 30" models new in the factory package priced at $38! Seems like a decent deal! How rigid are they, is there much flex, or bending if used with one of those limb pod things?

I don't know any thing about them, but the price sounds good.

The best stabilizer I have ever shot is Big Dawgs. It is very light and the bone is actually an adjustable weight.

They're originally designed for recurve bows, so they are a little on the thin side.

I have one which i sometimes use for compound with no problems. The carbon only model apparently, to some archers, will crack, so the Alum/Carbon is the way to go. So far, no problems with the Alum/Carbon model.

I would be careful about how i tighten the stab - ALWAYS hold onto the ferrule and NOT the rod itself as several (over here) have had the glue break and the rod loosen. The other archers didn't have much luck re-glueing with super strong overnight epoxy.

There is a chunkier, 1" thick model Cartel makes for compound shooters under the 'TRIPLE' lable. It has a very slight taper and looks and feels a lot sturdier.

Hope this helps.

I use a C/A multi rod set up and really enjoy. For the price you can't beat it. I wouldn't say it's better than Doinker, but again it's a matter of price. I was using a superstix setup front and back but switched and have no desire to switch again. Good solid design, vib dmapening is very good, and just heavy enough for my liking.:darkbeer:

I got the triple model and it's rock steady...
As a matter of fact my complete stabilizer system is almost Cartel triple - stab + extension and side rods (only the shibuya adjustable v-bar)

Theyre rigid up to the tip where weights screw. Its a rubber "floppy" tip which I'm not sure if it would be a good idea to have it leaning on the floor.
