Quivalizer in a Saddle

I recently started using a Quivalizer, and while I love it and definitely notice the improvement in accuracy, has anyone had a problem with it being too cumbersome in the saddle? I have seen some members using one, just wanted to hear some feedback/suggestions.

Where the skys are so blue!
I had to Google it. To each their own I reckon. I don't use a stabilizer, and usually carry a 3 arrow kwickee with 2 arrows in it. The 2nd arrow is in case I drop the first one!

I have never used one but if seems almost too long. I think you could get better results using the 10-12" front and 6-8" rear bar.

This is a good read to get started on how and why stabilizers work. I currently am using a homemade front and rear bar made out of washers and cut down carbon arrows. It's not the best choice out there but 4 300 spine arrow lengths are quite stiff even at 12" and with washers I can adjust my front weight at fractions of an oz. And it's definately the cheapest way to do it.

I've had too many times where I've had to use that second arrow. One time a third. Yea I always have 4 at my disposal
