10 degree down facing stabiliser

[Marcus]

I found some mention of a stabiliser that you have pointing towards the ground. Meant to stop left and right and make your bow more stable. Could be a farse, but I ordered one anyway.
Have a look here.

It's very interesting that you mention that, when I spoke to Shaun at the Nock Shop on Monday night, he saw my quick release stabilizer thing and said lots of guys in the U.S. were shooting them with a down facing thread to angle the stabilizer.

....Sounds like a good theory ;)

[Marcus]

Yeah I figure it will either work well, or be another Compound shooter gimmick, of which there are plenty!

i Know this is a very old thread but thought it interesting as i have been wondering if these things are a gimmick or do they actually make the bow more stable.

I am using one and find it helps

They make the shot feel different, so I would say try one if your curious.

I shot one for 3 years. I liked it & then I changed :thumb:

They simply move the centre of mass of the bow a little lower.
Aside from that, they look horrible.

I use the 10º down quick release by Shrewd and love it.

It helps keep the bow mass low, particularly in combination with a rear v-bar.

Some people say it's a gimmick; mainly the people who haven't tried it.

Adam. :D

Pffffffttt they don't look that bad :D

And like I said it changes Aiming/Balance of the Bow

Tried em. Still say it's a gimmick.
Or more accurately can be done just as well with other stabilizer combos, or better yet, AWS weights.

Your 10 degree stabiliser droop can be fixed with Ultrablack Industries Bow-agra.
You have to apply it at least 30 minutes before the shooting though...

[Eberbachl]

Wow! What a blast from the past :o

....I can't say I ever tried one (either that or it was an entirely forgettable experience).

I couldn't stand the look of them. It would make my bow feel so ....inadequate.

:rofl:

[STRINGWALKER]

That 10 degree below horizontal thing can be fixed.....see your doctor!

[Archangel]

You can get a pill for it these days - I can forward you some e-mails with some great offers if you like ;-)

a bit like the effects of inadequate exercise.......

Mine has been like it for the past few years especially when I get out of bed, haven't seen any change of my balance though.
