Choosing what to stock in your archery shop is part art and part science. Here are four new-for-2019 stabilizers to consider adding to your selection.
Bee Stinger Microhex Counter Slide
The Microhex Counter Slide stabilizer from Bee Stinger replaces the traditional stabilizer with an adjustable system to better balance the bow during the shot while reducing vibration with Countervail Technology. Customizable with five individual 1-ounce weights, the Microhex Counter Slide offsets the weight of the sight, quiver and other accessories.
Available in matte black, olive, tan, grey and brown as well as 10-, 12- and 15-inch lengths, the Microhex Counter Slide comes with a standard mount, but an even more adjustable dovetail mount is also available. MSRP from $134.99 to $154.99 depending on model.

LimbSaver LS Hunter Micro Lite
The LS Hunter Micro Lite stabilizer ($59.99) by LimbSaver is 7 inches long and weighs only 2.7 ounces, making it lightweight but effective. The NAVCOM (Noise and Vibration Control Material) broadband nodes on the forward end of the stabilizer help to eliminate hand shock, vibration and noise. The shaft is constructed out of a narrow .625-inch diameter, ultra-rigid carbon fiber.
The Hunter Micro Lite is available in nine color options including Mathews Lost XD and Muddy Girl.

The Nitro Hunter is available in two sizes, a 5-ounce 5.5-inch model and a 6-ounce 7.5-inch model with nine colors as well as Mathews Lost Camo and Next G1 Vista Camo.
