Default Stabilizers

Just out of curiosity… how many of you guys use a stabilizer when your bow hunting…?

I have tried a few out but really don’t notice a difference in my shots or the vibration with or without one, other than making the bow a little heavier…

I have never liked using one and do not feel it adds to my accuracy on short or long shots, so for the most part do not use one when I hunt.

I think that you will find that if most people took off their stabilizer and gave it an honest try they wouldn't bother putting one on again. To me it is just another piece of gear they can sell you. It adds more weight to your set up too.
Bows now don't suffer from too much vibration and if that amount of vibration bothers you how do you shoot a rifle?
