How a Bow Stabilizer Works

Video Transcript

"Hi. This is Bill Coulter at Fort Lauderdale Archers in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Let's talk a little bit about how a bow stabilizer works. The main key for the stabilizer is to ultimately take any and all vibration out of a bow. They also do quiet a bow down tremendously. And they do vary in weights, sizes and material. This one here is in an aluminum case and it is gel filled. For my application it works the best for vibration damp, meaning the quietness and the balance. Like I said, different sizes, different lengths, different weights. Depending on your equipment as to what balances it out perfectly. Balance is key especially when you're out there on the rough terrain. You're not always going to be level. So you want as much help as you can get. Stabilizers help tremendously. And they honestly do effect arrow flight. Increase accuracy tremendously. Like I said, a big difference, the heavier you want to get without being overweight would be perfect because the more weight you have our there on the end of the bow the more steady you will hold it. In turn. A wider bow will be a lot harder to shoot especially on a windy day or out at longer range. You're not going to be near as stable. Once again it all comes with accuracy. It'll make the bow a lot easier to shoot. It'll be funner to shoot. Stabilizers range in price from a mere $10 all the way up to a few hundred depending on what kind of set up you want to do. I believe this one runs about $60 at any Bass Pro shop, Cabellas. Like I said, perfect for my application depending on what you need. You will be able to go in and anyone will help you figure out what you need."
