Stabilizer

Archery is not a new practice. Already in the Middle Ages, hunters used bows to hunt big game. Over the centuries, the design of its equipment has constantly evolved. Today, there are many different types of bows to meet different uses, whether for hunting, competitions, training, or indoor target archery. New generation bows also differ from traditional models in their performance. They are equipped with accessories that optimize their ergonomics, maneuverability, and, above all, their precision. Stabilizers play an important role in this regard.

What is a stabilizer?

stabilizer, as its name suggests, is an accessory used to stabilize the bow. To do so, it absorbs vibrations to allow the archer to better aim at the target. It is important to know that there are two types of stabilizers: the central model which is fixed on the front part and which goes in the direction of the shot and the sidebar model which is fixed on a V-Bar. The V-Bar allows to spread out the sidebars. This accessory can be fixed or modular according to the model. When these two types of stabilizers are used simultaneously, the precision of the archer's shot can be optimized. At Hattila, the specialist of bows and archery kits selling, you will find the bow stabilizer you need.

The different sizes of stabilizers

While there are two main types of stabs, it is important to know that these accessories are available in different sizes: small, medium, and large.

A small size stabilizer is a model of less than 9.9 inches (25 cm) in length. It acts more like a shock absorber rather than a stab. In any case, even with its small size, it is heavier. That's why this category of stabilizer is only recommended for archers who tend to shoot in fairly tight areas.

Then there are the medium-sized stabilizers with a length between 9.9 and 15.7 inches (25 and 40 cm). For those who are looking for an adjustment, this category is perfect. These stabilizers guarantee both the balance of the bow and optimize the archer's endurance. They are also lightweight and are perfect for indoor target shooting sessions.

Finally, the last category includes long stabilizers. They are between 15.7 and 27.5 inches (40 and 70 cm) long. Bowhunters tend to use these models to adjust their shots because they balance the weight between the bow and arrow during the release. Long stabilizers are often made of carbon fiber or titanium.

How do I adjust the bow's stabilizer?

The stabilizer plays two roles simultaneously. On the one hand, it aims to balance the bow during the release. On the other hand, it helps to dampen the vibrations transmitted when the arrow is propelled. The stabilizer adjustment is done by changing the balance of the bow by adding or removing weight at the ends of the central stabilizers and side stabs. Subsequently, if the central stabilizer gives a slight impulse to the top of the bow during the release, you have to adjust the weight on the central level. If the bow tilts rather quickly, you have to lighten the center level of the bow. When it comes to vibration damping adjustment, everything will depend on the stabilizer model. For this purpose, you should also know that the adjustment is made when the bow limb seems to stop abruptly without any vibration.
