I see alot of people who have put items on thier bows without the understanding of what that item is for.
Therefore,most of the items are incorrect for thier needs
For instance,The term Stabilizer... the vast majority use this item as a sound dampening devise alone.
A stabilizer insert is put in the riser where they need to be in order to balance the bow,not to add shock absorbers.
(if you can add a shock absorber at the same time then great!)
The next time you are in a good shop , take a look at diffrent bows of the top shelf names.
Some bows have one insert forward and others will have one insert fore and aft and some bows will have more than two stabilizer inserts.
These inserts are there for the shooter to add counterweights (where needed) to balance that bow to the wants of the shooter.
My personal bow I have set at a 3 second fall to 30 degrees.
Too much or to little weight can have a detrimental effect to the performance of a bow and haphazard attachments are always a negitive.
A better way of reducing bow shock and reverb would be to use attachments (that take the place of exsisting bolts and pins) which are designed to act as absorbers.
