The 5 Best Bow Stabilizers

by Jackson | Apr 15, 2014 | Reviews

The best bow stabilizers make your life noticeably better and your shot groups much tighter.  A lot of people wonder why a little bar on the front of your bow is such a big deal.  I’m sure there’s some really smart people out there who can tell you all the physics of it, but a good simple answer should work fine.

A bow stabilizer helps you hold your arm steadier, it reduces the amount of movement when you loose the arrow, and it reduces vibrations and shock on the bow.  All these things combine to help you shoot more accurate.  That’s why you want to use the best bow stabilizer for your setup.

Be sure to see to see if your bow case has space if you want to keep your stabilizer attached to your bow at all times.  Otherwise, you might have to keep taking it off every time you put your bow back in the case.  Check out the best bow cases if you don’t already have one.

The best bow stabilizers

Trophy Ridge Static Stabilizer, 9-Inch, Black – If you want to make your bow as steady as possible, then this is the one for you.  An adjustable weight set allows you to fine tune things for your bow.  You’ll have tighter groups and less bow shock to deal with.  The size of the stabilizer is about an inch and a half longer than it says so just be aware in case you’re down to a tight squeeze to get it to fit in your bow case.  Priced around $30-40, you’re getting the top of the line choice.

Limb Saver Stabilizer S-Coil Camo 4.5in – The S-Coil is great for reducing shock and making your bow dead quiet.  Though not adjustable, it will help you shoot better groupings and is a bit shorter at 4.5″ which can help if you’re in a tight space.  It’s a very reasonably priced stabilizer at around $30.

New Archery Apache Stabilizer (8 Inch, Black) – The Apache stabilizer is a great 8″ stabilizer that has a removable section to make it lighter and can be shortened down to 5″.  It comes in both a camo and a black version to help blend in better with your surroundings.  This is a great stabilizer to use and will definitely help you shoot better.  Priced around $30-35, it’s a good deal.

Trophy Ridge Shock Stop Stabilizer Lite – Trophy Ridge has a well deserved reputation for making great bow stabilizers and this one is no different.  This one is a very good choice if you’re on a tight budget.  Plus, it comes with a wrist strap so you get a free bonus.  Remember this one when you’re thinking about your next stabilizer.  Priced around $15-20.

LimbSaver Mini S Coil Stabilizer, Black– The shortest one of the bunch, but by no means the least.  At only 3.5″ long, it will take up the least amount of space while still helping you to keep that steady arm while aiming.  This mini really helps out in tight spots whether you’re in a deer blind or having to shoot targets around a tree.  Priced around $18.

Helping you shoot tighter groupings all the time makes archery more fun.  You’ll not only be having more fun, but it just feels great to be able to hit what you’re aiming for time after time.  Stabilizers really do work and you can try shooting with them on and off your bow.  You’ll be amazed at the difference you experience and this goes for experienced shooters as well.
