Stabilizer

A stabilizer is an attachment on the bow—usually on the riser—that improves balance and steadiness at full draw. It typically consists of a rod (or multiple rods) with weights at the end.

Functions:

  • Reduces vibrations
  • Improves balance
  • Steadies the sight picture
  • Supports clean follow-through

Types:

  • Long front stabilizer
  • Side stabilizers (V-Bar system)
  • Short stabilizers

Stabilizers are standard in recurve and compound competition archery.
