In my bag i have only i VR lens the Nikkor 24-120 AF-S VR. Take a guess what lens gets the least amount of use.... thats right the VR lens.
Not that it is a bad lens but i hardly ever have a need for it. The last time i used it was last October when i went up in a B-17 as much as the plane shook and bounced around over the Mountains of western NC VR was a much welcome addition.
Tanner J is correct that the way you hold your camera will give you better results hands down. I have been able to hand hold my Sigma 120-300 EX F2.8 lens down to 1/8 of a second. Just to note i also try to get a full nights sleep and i avoid colas and energy drinks. That helps prevent the shakes and jitters.
Here is a shot with the Sigma 120-300EX shot at 1/30th of a second f/32
