Trophy Ridge Static Stabilizer 12 in. Realtree Xtra

I purchased the 12" for my compound bow, which previously just had a stock, stubby stabilizer that seems to come with all entry-level compound bows (I have a Predator Raptor).I weighed both the 1 oz removable weights that came with the stabilizer and they came in at 0.987 oz and 0.983 oz, so roughly 7/8 oz each.To give you an idea of my archery skill level, I took up archery as a new hobby in 2017 while I was extremely bored because I was on chemo and too fatigued to do much other than sit around my apartment. So I invented a game called "Kitchen Archery", where I shoot from the kitchen, through the doorway to the dining room where I have a target set up. The first time I've been to a range was a just a couple of months ago (in 2019). I've never taken a lesson so I'm completely self-taught.I found that I did best with one of the (almost) 1 oz weights removed. The attached image shows my Kitchen Archery grouping at a distance of 25 ft using the stabilizer. I have never achieved as tight a grouping with my stock, stubby stabilizer.

I shot my PSE Surge with no stabilizer before installation. There was a noticeable difference in vibration. Far less than with no stabilizer. It even feels like a very high quality stabilizer. Much better than the one on my other bow. And it does offer some good balance to help you tighten up those shot groups. I can't say that it was all because of this stabilizer, but I'm shooting tighter groups on my PSE bow. Overall, it's a great stabilizer at a great price! You can't go wrong with this.Update. After testing this stabilizer for a few months, I found my 50 yard shots were very inconsistent. I found that the 6 inch model doesn't offer as much stabilization as longer models. I had two of the six inch models and found that you can take the weights off the end and screw in another stabilizer to get more length. So I put my two 6 inch stabilizers together to make a 12 inch stabilizer. What a difference that made! Also very cost effective considering the price of the 6 inch model. But now, a 50 yard shot is just as tight as my 30 yard. I believe the 12 inch model was just released. But way more expensive than two 6 inch models.

This is the first stabilizer I have ever used but I have been archery hunting for 7 years now so I know my way around a bow. It halved the noise produced when shooting and the vibration was also dampened quite a bit. However the biggest difference I noticed was in the balance of my bow. I had no idea this would improve my balance so much! I am shooting much tighter groups now. I have not yet hunted with it but I have well over 500 practice shots with it and it is holding up great. It’s lightweight an it doesn’t add that much to the profile of the bow. A tip I would suggest is measuring beforehand to make sure with this stabilizer attached your bow will still fit into your current case.

This is an awesome stabilizer. I've tried out a few stabilizers and after taking one of the removable weights off, this one has been the only one that has made a huge difference in stabilizing the bow both while aiming and after releasing. Smaller stabilizers aren't as effective for back and forth stabilizing of the bow. I would recommend the 9in stabilizer or longer. The dowel screw did come out of the stabilizer when dismounting the stabilizer from the bow, however that was easily fixed with some threadlocker.

i have a complaint about the package delivery. this was left by my house, with the label face up. the side on the ground was damaged and appeared to be tampered with. the tape along the seem in the bow was ripped from end to end and the box appeared to be opened and dug through. fortunately the product itself was still inside and appeared to be undamaged but it was most definitely opened.

Upon unboxing, I could tell trophy ridge makes quality products. Nothing about it feels cheap. Also could feel that the weight was at the end of the stabilizer which is what I wanted. Put it on my bow, and could tell a noticeable difference right away. I have a lighter carbon bow, so I wanted something that would help the bow fall forward in hand better after my shots. This stabilizer achieved this a lot better than the stock 6" octane that came with my bow. Also, the holes do help in windy conditions. Felt like I could hold on target pretty well with the wind blowing pretty good. Also has weight adjustment. Looks pretty dang cool to.

I had the 9 inch version (missing the end piece, thanks to my grandkids) but I wanted to try the 12" version to see if it was more stable, turns out that for me it was. Although a little heavier, I'm happy with my purchase

Seems to stabilize my bear agenda 7 very well. It looks awesome too which is a nice plus. It also has weights the can be used for adjustment which can help with fine tuning. My only problem is that it arrived with a slight bend which can only be noticed when taken on and off. It doesn't seem to affect it's function and I may have gotten a defective one but it is still unacceptable to be bent right from the start. I'm sure Amazon would have replaced it had I complained but it wasn't a big enough deal to warrant the hassle.

My groups tightened up at least about 30-35%. The total weight of this stab is about 213g. It works!Before this one I tried a 8 inch Viper SX stabilizer which did not really make a big difference and by its weight was about 60 gramms lighter.

The quality of the product isn't as good as I expected. Also no instructions were included. I know that stabilizers are easy to figure out but the bolt had a protective plastic which preventative me from screwing it in. The plastic looked like it was supposed to be there and not removed so I wasted time trying to figure out what was going on. Instructions would have helped. I don't recommend the product. You would be better of spending more money with a higher quality product in my opinion.

Great stabilizer for any bow ...makes a difference on accuracy

Besides having a high quality fiber optic sight, having a high quality stabilizer is a must, especially for long shots. Excellent quality product and makes a difference. Also good in windy applications because of the design. Highly recommended! Well priced.

Cool little stabilizer. Came with wrist strap, light weight, quiet
