Stabilizer question.

I shoot a 2008 Bowtech Commander. For those of you that don't know this bow it is very large. I've been shooting it as is for about 3 years now. When shooting with a friend he was mentioning how my bow falls backwards not forwards when I realease an arrow. I've shot just fine with it this whole time. Should I get a longer heavier stabilizer or just keep it as is?
 
Stokerized SS1 you can adjust it forward, back, out or in to help balance your bow, and if needed add a typical stabilizer to help.
 
Do you shoot great or just marginal? If you shoot great then I'd say "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". If you shoot just average than yeah maybe give a longer heavier stabilizer a shot and see how it does for you.
 
That's just it. I'm worried. Last year I was shooting 2 inch groupings with all pins. Now I've switched arrows and they are about 5 inch at 50. I don't know if its just me or the arrows. I also think I iver do it and start getting way to tired and start making poor shots.
 
I noticed that my knock can slide up and down inside the d loop. Would that have much effect on the flight. Its less then a quarter inch of movement.
 
I'd be happy to look it over quick and check it out for you if you want to bring it in.
We also have dozens of styles, lengths, weights and sizes of stabilizers you can try to find what feels the best for you.
 
have boyd check it out.
i would definately tie a not or something inside your d loop. that could throw you off
 
So I was looking my wisker biscut over and it seemed pretty warn. I slapped QAD Ultra on it and it seemed to help tremendously! Which is great. I literally lost sleep last night trying to figure out why I had gone so down hill. Trying to analize in my head what I was doing wrong. I even took film of my shots and watched them. I also got a hold of a 10 inch bee stinger stabilizer and I love the steadiness it has added. I'm not sure how many of you are familiar with the commander but it feels like I'm holding about 10 pounds of bow now.!
 
I'm running a 12" b-stinger and a spot hogg, hogg father sight. Everyone that has picked it up says my bow weighs 25 pounds. It feels good to me and holds like a rock. To each his own, as long as it works for you that's all that matters

I'm shooting the 12" B-Stinger as well. Yes, it is pretty heavy, but it holds so steady it's unreal.
 
12" 11 oz b stinger as well. Will change the way you shoot past 40 in a significant way. It is a true "stabilizer" rather than a suppressor. Also, having a gap within the dloop and perfect nock fit can greatly affect long range accuracy. Usually a gap of 1/16" is adequate but I'd rather have to much than to tight.

You want a little vertical play at brace or when the bow is stationary as at full draw the dloop will pinch the nock and cause issues, especially with today's shorter ata bows.

Fact, couldn't have said it better.
I see a lot of "pro shop" set ups that have a huge d-loop that allows way to much nock travel.
