Shock absorbers and accessories

Since the Middle Ages, traditional bows have changed significantly. Today, there are many variations, including compound bows, Japanese bows, longbows, bare bows, compound bows, and classical bows. With this new generation of bows also came accessories of all kinds to optimize the performance of archers. The sights, stabilizers, clickers, etc. Some parts have even been specifically designed to absorb the vibrations emitted by the bow. Discover these different bow equipment and parts at Hattila, your online archery specialist.

What is a shock absorber?

When the bow is subjected to vibration, it continues to oscillate until the archer holds the source of that cause. This is called damping when an external force is applied to reduce the vibratory system. In the past, it took a considerable amount of time before the effects of vibration would fade. That is why engineers have been looking for an effective way to control it. The idea would be to provide a means to transfer the archer's energy out of the vibrating system to another system that can dissipate that energy.

Now there are different ways to do this such as friction, using Hysteresis systems, or hydraulic damping. In any case, the use of shock absorbers and accessories remains the best way to reduce vibrations in the bow riser and string. To this end, Hattila offers a wide range of shock absorbers for the mass; silent shock absorbers for compound bows; shock absorbers for classical bow; shock absorbers for extender, and shock absorbers for the split. There are shock absorbers of all brands and sizes.

The different types of shock absorbers for bows

Shock absorbers are available in a wide range of models. First, you will find the shock absorbers between mass or AIM. They are mounted at the end of the stabilizers, whether it is a central stabilizer or a sidebar stabilizer for V-bar and extender. These models may have a different design depending on the bow. For a compound bow, for example, you will find spiral-shaped AIM shock absorbers that can effectively isolate vibrations while increasing the arrow's propulsion speed.

You will also find "Dampers" shock absorbers that are buffer-shaped. These models can reduce the noise emitted by the string once the arrow is released. Dampers can also absorb vibrations in the bow riser during the shooting. There are also dampers for sight. These are often made of silicone and attach to the bow sight.

Besides dampers for sights, engineers have also created dampers for the limbs. They are specifically designed to absorb vibrations from the limbs to optimize the archer's comfort by reducing noise. Don't forget to consider the compatibility of the dumper with your bow at the time of purchase.

Other essential accessories

Besides shock absorbers and stabilizers, other accessories may also be useful for your bow. For example, the adapter is designed for the extender or the stabilizer. There is also the attachment, which is available in different models and allows you to install the stabilizer very quickly in a quarter of a turn. You will also find conical plugs that allow the connection between the stabilizer and the masses.

All of these accessory packages, which can be used with the shock absorbers for your bow, are available from Hattila.
