Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Bowhunting How much of a stab is enough?

For me, it depends on what length/weight it takes to balance the bow, and the limitations of the treestand.

Agreed, in a Summit Viper with the full rail, where you generally have to stand to shoot, a short stab is preferred.

In my Lone Wolf Hand Climber, there is no rail, and you could swing a door without issues.

I run between 3-4 and 10-12 inches depending on what the balance needs for the bow are. I tend to run a light stab if at all possible.

The Z-7 wears a X-Factor stab, and is very light. With the shorter ATA, it does help me a bit with "wobble".



The Obsession has a Limbsaver, but it's really just for a bit of vibration dampening, and anchoring the wrist sling. I could get the same results with a hex-head bolt.
