what difference does it make when shooting with beiter muti rod stabaliser and short rods than with using carbon solid stabalizer and short rods

The solid rod will be better if shooting in the wind.

The solid rods will give more money to spend on equipment that will make you shoot better.

If you choose Beiter rods you can probably get closer to getting your stabilization right with one purchase, though you will have to mess round with tuners for an awful long time to find it, A quality carbon rod system will be lighter and give the opportunity to put weights on that will resit bow torque much better weight for weight over beiter rods though you may find you need to buy extra weight/doinkers etc or even cut down stabalisers to optimise set up. As Pyroach stated regular stabs do have the advantage of increasing on aim stability when shooting if there is a bit of a draught up, plus they look much less hideous.

I dont quite get why a solid rod would be better in the wind, as it has a higher surface area than a multi-rod. I have shot with both styles in wind, and i found that multi-rods are better in the wind.

That's not strictly true four rods of 7mm dia tubes = 28mm cross section against one 17mm diameter tube, plus those tuners aren't exactly aerodynamic

Mulit tube stabs are not always worse in the wind. It all depends on weather or not the multi tube rod has an end weight or not. If it depends on just its lenght then this brings with it the down side of extra side area. if the multi tube long uses an end weight then a multi tube has less side area. and if you set up the tubes so that one is behind the other as far as side winds are concerned the advantage is greater.And Beiter do sell end weights.

Go try Beiter, you will buy them!!

Set the tubes up one behind the other and 7 times 2 = 14 which beats 17

The wind will still hit the ones behind as the air flows over the first ones, Plus most people buy longer than necessary Beiters to utilise there vibration absorption properties.
