Stabilizer necessary?

I enjoy the simplicity of no stabilizer, less stuff attached to the bow and mine is already extremely quiet.

I have always hunted with a stabilizer, but i'm also going to say that it depends on your bow. For the last few years I've hunted with an APA King Cobra with a 70lb draw using the Octane 11"3D hunter and I found the bow balanced well and was very accurate. This year I picked up the King Cobra TF at 60lbs and though there are only a few differences I find the bow more difficult to balance. So I've been playing around with more weight, side stabs and even short vbars. The key to stabilizing your rig is trial and error and what seems to work for you and what works for you bow. That said I have shot a well balanced hunting bow and it is something worth attempting.
