The farther the weight is away from the
bow, the steadier you will hold. This 12" long
stabilizer was designed with the BHFS (bowhunter
freestyle) shooter in mind. The rigid, ultra lightweight
shaft allows all of the weight in this stabilizer to be
placed out at the tip. The shape of the weight was even
designed to get the maximum amount of weight as close to
12" away from the bow as possible.
Weights available: 8 oz., 11 oz., 14 oz., & 17 oz.
How
does the B-Stinger work?
To increase the stability of something such as our bows, we must
add weight to them. Since
our bows experience many changing forces including torque, where
we place that weight is also very important.
It turns out that placing the weight as far out from the
axis of rotation (i.e. the axis is at about the grip of the bow)
is also extremely important.
An example of this would be to take a broom and hold it
by the bristled end and try to shake the handle back and forth. You’ll see that it is quite easy. Now switch the broom around and hold it from the handle and
try to shake the bristled end back and forth.
It will be much more resistant to your movements.
If you really want to see the principle (i.e. rotational
inertia) in action, try shaking the B-Stinger back and forth
from each end. All
the weight on the B-Stinger is intentionally placed as near to
the twelfth inch as possible.
This is done so that you can both hold more steady at
full draw and so that if you make a mistake at the time of your
shot, the B-Stinger will increase your bows tendency to remain at rest (i.e. more stabile) keeping your
bad shots closer to the middle.
How much weight should I
support with my B-Stinger?
With any stabilizer you want as much weight as you can
comfortably support during the duration of the whole archery
tournament. The
more weight the better until it is too much.
If you’re at full draw and your mind is telling you,
“You
better get rid of this arrow before your arm falls
off!” then you have too much weight.
Weight is a key component of making your bow more
stabile. Remember,
the more weight the better, until it is too much.
What does the
B-Stinger do for vibration?
The short answer is, it has Sorbothane (A synthetic material
designed specifically to eliminate vibration) in the tube.
The real answer is that by keeping the stabilizer bar
both light and very rigid and placing the majority of the weight
out near the end, your bow will no longer jerk violently in your
hand when you shoot it. As
a result you have a quieter shot and you can then focus
dampening vibration at its source (i.e. the string, the cables,
the limbs, and the cams). If
you wanted your guitar to stop making noise every time you
plucked the string, would you
attach a “stabilizer with rubber on the end” out on the
headstock (the end) of the guitar?
Of course not but that’s exactly what were being told
to do with our bows. If you want your guitar to hold still, attach it to something
solid. If you want
your Guitar to be quiet when you pluck the stings, attach a nice
piece of vibration dampening material right at the source, the
guitar strings. The same rules apply for our bows.
