As the name states, stabilizers are pieces of equipment used to stabilize your bow while at full draw. They also have the added advantage of lowering the vibration and shock after a shot.Stabilizers are made out of carbon and come in different lengths, sizes, and threads. Choosing a stabilizer that best suits your needs as an archer is essential. Target archers use long stabilizers in front of their bow, with shorter side rods acting as a counterbalance. These side rods may be located pointing backward on both sides using a V-bar mount or off to one side using an offset mount. Weights are typically added to the ends of these stabilizers to help reduce pin float while at full draw. Hunters use shorter stabilizers both in front of their bow and sometimes off to one side. The shorter length makes it easier to maneuver in the woods or hunting environments while still providing significant benefits over shooting bare. Some target archers shoot V-bars, which allow them to have one stabilizer in the front and two side rods pointing backward on both sides. Others use only a single back rod with an offset mount. While tuning your stabilizer setup, you may need quick disconnects, offset mounts, and V-Bar mounts. These attach to your bow and allow the easy removal of your stabilizer with the added benefit of fine-tuning the angle they sit at. When tuning your stabilizer setup, the goal is to choose weights and angles for each stabilizer that allows your bow to sit perfectly still and level while at full draw. Compound archers should pay attention to the level in their scope and ensure it remains level while having no torque on the bow's handle. If it doesn't, adjust the stabilizer weight and angles until it does. It is important to remember changing your stabilizer setup once your bow is fully tuned may change the tune of the bow and require you to adjust it again. We recommend ensuring your stabilizer setup is perfect before fully tuning your bow.
