How to make a PVC Stabilizer: A tutorial

[Ankhdad]

A.S, I owe ya a drink!
Great video! I had some of the materials you used lying around, just needed the end caps. $1.25 x 2 at the local plumbers...and whadda ya know...

measures 12", but I think I might bring it down to 8"



will take it for a test run tomorrow!

Very nice job, let me know how it does. Did you use any rubber for dampening? Of course, you'll probably find that you don't need it with that bow.

my end caps are not glued atm, just in case I have to make some adjustments.
I do have 6" piece of bike tubing wrapped tightly around the carriage bolt on the end, but you're right, the bow doesn't give much vibration to start with.
I shot a few arrows this morning, and really noticed a difference keeping the bow level.
It was fun do to! Just have to finish the target stand....??what have you guys got me into??lol

Welcome to the sport of archery.

I noticed with my 2011 Firecat that I don't seem to need rubber either. I haven't glued my end caps yet either. I may not glue the ones on my 8" stabilizer, but I will glue the one end cap on my 21" stab were the 5/16" bolt is.

Stuff it with packing peanuts and throw some weight in it between the peanuts if you need to. Paint the paking peanuts any color you want and it will look really custom, maybe match the green on the bowstrings.

Good idea Bob. That should definitely remove any vibration at all from the stabilizer.
