Bow dampers

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 bow dampeners

Dampeners come in a wide range of models. First, you'll find dampeners between weights or AIM. They are mounted at the end of stabilizers, whether it's a central stabilizer or a side stabilizer for V-bars and extension. These models can have different designs depending on the bow. For a compound bow, for example, you'll find spiral-shaped AIM dampeners that can effectively isolate vibrations while increasing the arrow's propulsion speed.

You'll also find shock absorbers known as "Dampers" in the form of pads. These models can reduce the noise emitted by the string once the arrow is released. Dampers can also absorb vibrations in the bow handle during shooting. There are sight dampers. These are often made of silicone and attach to the bow's sight.

Apart from sight dampeners, engineers have also worked on developing limb dumpers. They are specifically designed to absorb limb vibrations to optimize the archer's comfort by reducing noise. It's only important to know that when purchasing, you'll need to consider the dumper's compatibility with your bow.

Other essential accessories

Apart from dampeners and stabilizers, other accessories can also prove useful for your bow. There's, for example, the adapter which is designed for the extension or also for the stabilizer. There's also the attachment, which can come in different models and allows for stabilization in a quarter turn. You'll also find conical caps that allow for the connection between the stabilizer and the weights.

All these accessory sets that can accompany your bow's dampeners are available at Hattila.
