Sorry Cameron. Haven't checked this thread since last year. And no, I don't use any type stabilizer on my trad bows.
Update on my search for the perfect trad bow archery stand. These small Apollo stands are just to close to the ground. With the platform being only 9 ft from ground level, about the only tree I feel anywhere near comfortable is in a cedar with lower branches hiding me. Last season, after leaf drop, I didn't hunt any of these I placed in hardwoods.
The Rivers Edge Lockdown Bowman Pro is ideal. But, they don't make them any longer. I think I've found what will be my replacements going forward - Family Traditions L14 ladder stand with the 41" extension. Places the platform at 15 ft which is about perfect for traditional archery. Built like a tank as you would expect from Family Traditions. And very, very easy to assemble. Took me 15 minutes. With 2 people, I think it would be a 10 minute assembly. I bought 2 of these 3 weeks ago.
