Description

Different stabilizer sizes

There are three main categories of stabilizers:

- The central stabilizer: mounted on the front of the handle, this is the main rod, the longest - often made of carbon, fiberglass or aluminum - usually measuring between 26 and 32 inches. It serves to stabilize the bow in the axis of the shot.

- Side stabilizers: shorter, they are attached via a V-Bar (or one-bar for compound bows). On a recurve bow, two are installed on either side of the bow to balance the weight at the back. On a compound, a single side stabilizer is often used, placed opposite to the scope to counterbalance its weight.

- The hunting stabilizer: shorter and more massive (between 4 and 10 inches), it mounts on the front of hunting compound bows.

How to choose your stabilizers?

We tend to start from the principle that the total length of the stabilization should be an inch or slightly more than the archer's draw length.

For example, for a 28" draw length, a length of 29" or slightly more is recommended (but not 26" or 32"!)

Regarding side stabilizers, while proportionality to the length of the central stabilization is preferred, a minimum is still recommended.
For example, still for a 28" draw length, we recommend side stabilizers of at least 12", or even 14" if an extension is used.

How to adjust bow stabilization?

Stabilization serves two roles simultaneously. On one hand, it promotes bow balance during aiming. On the other, it helps dampen vibrations transmitted when the arrow is propelled.

For stabilization adjustment, it is done by modifying the bow's balance by adding or removing weight at the ends of the central and side stabilizers. The angles also considerably influence the balance.
Everything must therefore be taken into account according to your pressure point in your bow.

If your bow tips too strongly when the arrow is released, there might be too much weight on the front, and adding weight to the back might be preferable.

Conversely, if your bow rears up slightly when the arrow is released, add some weight to the front.

Never forget that you must be able to hold it throughout the duration of a training session or competition.

Recent studies have shown, for example, that a weight of 69 grams per pound drawn for a complete recurve bow was ideal... get your calculators ready!
