Hi All,
Welcome to this weeks quick tips email, as always, please do forward this message to any of your archery friends who might find it helpful.
I got a question this week asking if having heavier stabilisers can make your draw weight feel lighter. The short answer to this is yes.
In essence, you need to balance your bow between the draw weight (the poundage you pull) and the mass weight (the physical weight of your bow + stabilisers). If this balance is a bit off, your bow can feel odd and not react in the way you want.
In general, the higher your draw weight, the higher mass weight you can have. However, I’d like to note a caveat to this. For the vast majority of archers, having a lighter weight stabiliser setup is better. It’s ok to have light stabilisers even if your draw weight is high, but having a low draw weight and heavy stabilisers isn’t recommended.
