As you release the string, internal forces reacting and moving parts cause the bow to deviate off of target. The stabilizer does just that, stabilizes!
To put it into perspective take the cheetah for example, it has a long tail to stabilize its body at high speeds over rough terrain and just imagine driving a vehicle at that speed over the same ground! The next time your not behind the wheel hold your arms stiffly straight out, as the vehicle goes over something rough bump or rail road track, you will notice you bounce less
A + 1 for you Clay Cooper,
The stabilizer is probably one of the least known pieces of archery equipment but it is of great importance to your shooting accuracy and comfort... Make sure you buy one that suits you, your bow and the type of shooting you're going to use it for... Take a measured approach; look for quality and temper your decision with thoughts on suitability and you will be sure to be shooting quietly and accurately...
You can view a range of bow stabilizers as well as bows, arrows and many other archery accessories that are available at The Compound Archery Store!!!
it balances out the bow causing less vibration, which increases accuracy
I think it makes the bow a little quieter during the shot too.
Makes your bow quieter and balances it better
It balances your bow and helps with accuracy. It pays to spend some time talking to an expert about what fits your needs and bow the best. Have you ever seen a competition archer before, those stabilizers are a foot or more long.
