Stabilizers | Do you NEED a BACK BAR?

Seems like every time I need a answer to my bow questions I end up on your channel, thanks for all the info, great stuff!!

[@helmutfrey4375]

Mathews are topheavy. Thats true. But my vxr nails the pin on the target. Thats true too.

[@markcarey5673]

Thank you for a great video. A lot of valuable information very well presented. I agree with you that a lot of people are confused about what stabilizers are supposed to do. To my way of thinking they have three basic functions. Not necessarily in order of importance, number one is to compensate for, or counteract imbalance in your rig. Some people say they never shoot with their quiver on the bow. But I do a lot of spot & stalk and still hunting and I really don't have any choice but to shoot with the quiver in place. A rear facing stabilizer canted to my left counteracts the weight of my quiver and keeps the bow plumb. Number two, stabilizers (particularly rear facing stabilizers that tend to be lower on the bow) lower the center of gravity of your bow further stabilizing it vertically. Number three, which to me is actually the most important, stabilizers add mass. Mass/weight helps your bow remain on target by increasing the bow's inertia.

New here as well. Sounds like I need one too. My pin floats a lot and it's probably from my bad should (need rotator cuff surgery), but I'm thinking the bar and balance would really help me out. I have a small front stabilizer. How did you know what kind of side bar to get?

I started using a back bar 2 or 3 years ago. It made me a much better shooter. I have a pretty decent natural cant to the right without a quiver. I have my back bar set with enough weight to level me without a quiver. I purchased a new bow in June (Prime Inline 3) and made it a point to improve my front and back setup. On the back, I am running an 8" Bee Stinger Pro Hunter Maxx bar with a quick disconnect and three 1oz regular diameter weights. The bar is set fairly close to the bow. On the front I have a 10" Bee Stinger Micro Hex on a quick disconnect with 6oz of weights from the Bee Stinger Pro Hunter which are of a much larger diameter than standard stabilizer weights, 2.66" in diameter. I have grown to really like them. They really help with stalking and keeps you from stabbing your stabilizer into mud or soft ground. Right now with this new setup I am shooting the best I ever have in my life. It is not even close, and I have been at this game for 25 years. All I do is bow hunt. 90% of that is from a tree in a climber or saddle. I don't shoot tournaments. This rig doesn't get in the way, and I prefer a stable rig I can shoot over an ultra light one that doesn't hold as well. I have been down that road and won't go back.

[@joelaskey2121]

From my personal experience back bars are great for ground hunting but from a nest not so much for me . “I hunt with my quiver off in nest” I took a chunk of flesh from a does backstrap with the back bar set up. The back bar kept the aiming point up from aiming at a downward angle. I removed the back bar and swept a buck from the same tree a couple weeks later . I fully agree that they are outstanding giving the situation. Awesome video Nate! Shouts from western Ma.

[@walter992]

Love the Mathews poke.

[@jons7e]

I ended up buying the same CBE stabilizer set, and after testing, setup the weights exactly the same way as you did. For the price, it's a great value for this set. And I'm also finding I'd rather just not keep my quiver on as it just adds complication to balancing the bow.

[@patherbert6684]

good video, back bar helped me a lot with leveling bow at long distance 50-60 yards was always trying to bring bubble back to the left added time to release major difference when bubble is in the middle.

[@renatugaming5730]

I've used a stabilizer setup that might seem unorthodox...but my stabilizer set (it's the cartel dynamics if you're wondering) doesn't come with a lot of weight, so I use 2 back bars just like the recurves. Strangely enough, I don't even use a weight on the front....I know it's weird but for now, until I get more weights, it works decently. I also want to say that stabilizers shouldn't be something to "fix" or mask form issues, back bars are meant to offset the weight of your front bars, that way, your bow doesn't want to fall forward. If you take your front bar length, and multiply the length by the weight you want to have, and then divide by the back bar length you want, you should have a weight that would give you a zero balance. Zero balance is when that bow doesn't want to fall forward, but isn't tipping backwards towards you. The zero balance isn't for everyone, some like front heavy and some don't. Zero balance is a good place to start though! Hope this helped all of you!

[@laurenchapple8244]

Great video on back bars! I made my own using some corner braces and two short "hunting" stabilizers. I use a Bear Anarchy and it has back side threaded hole for back bars. Others though I was crazy but they work great. Adds a little weight but can still us when "still hunting". Can send pics if you'd like.

[@jeremywilson9097]

Was skeptical about the back bar after your video I went and bought one and I’m shooting like a pro now thanks for sure was worth the money

[@shaundendy2173]

I just recently upgraded to this exact setup! Purchased mine for around $180 but it's worth every penny in my opinion especially compared to the price of other dual stabilizer setups. I was looking at the one from beestinger and it's close to $250. If you're looking to go to a dual stabilizer setup this one is a dang good deal. I'm still dialing mine in because I've made a few changes in my equipment lineup recently including switching to a handheld thumb release. Side note: I'm running this setup on a $300 bear pledge purchased from Walmart until I can afford to upgrade. I've already seen drastic improvements in my shooting using this.

[@billieglennbusch2189]

Greatly appreciate the simplicity with which you explain the how, what and why 👍

[@stefanc2242]

Great video with lots of real world information. I do think bowhunting is becoming overly complicated, at least for eastern whitetails. I like my hunting bows setup simple and my shots are kept 30 yards and in. I haven't found an accuracy difference that would affect killing a deer inside of 30 yards from drop away rests, target sights, or stabilizers. I do however have two bows, one hunting bow that has a whisker biscuit two pin fixed sight and no stabilizers and one setup for 3D that has QAD front stab and slider sight. I shoot the 3D bow most of the year but go back to my trusty simple hunting bow for my stand. I can definitely see the advantage though if you're out west or shooting game a longer distances.

Great explanation! Hopefully this will encourage more archers to at least give the setup a try. I learned it on a whim earlier this year when I took the back bar off my 3D bow (minus most the weight) and put it on my hunting rig at the range. Instantly knew the route I wanted to go, just a little tweaking to get the right position.

[@JayN4GO]

I don’t use a back bar on my elite. Adds weight when bow hunting. I actually use a small limb saver style up front. The bow is very balanced. I do run custom grips though. The reason I’m not a huge Mathews fan is the added weight. However I’m noticing the vxr 31.5 holds on target slightly better than the elite at full draw. I still love my elite. I save the stabs for 3D

[@matthewwollmann5803]

Have U ever tried or thought about just off setting ur front stabilizer instead of running a back bar? I have seen a few guys doin that but can’t seem to find a whole lot of info on how it compares

[@Fred-eg9sx]

For some reason, I found that by shooting a perfectly balanced bow, I no longer had target panic. No exactly sure why

[@livingadreamlife1428]

When you steadied your bow with a stabilizer, the Pin was able to remain on the target center longer, eliminating the need to “punch” the trigger as the Pin crossed the center of your target.

I have a 10 inch front and 8 inch back bar. I have my back bar mounted at the same height as my front bar, but as im watching this video and in most other videos, the back bar is mounted lower on the riser. Is there a preferred placement of the back bar? Do you get more stability when it's mounted lower on the riser than at the same level as the front stabilizer?

Not trying to be a critic, but when you demonstrate how the bow is "front heavy" without the rear bar, doesn't the front bar contribute to that? I'd like to see the demonstration done without the front bar installed. I understand that the sight is adding weight forward of the riser, but the front bar is compounding the problem even more. But, great video and well done on the production.

That is actually what the back bar is for. Not necessarily for balancing your bow in your hand but set up properly it will slow your pin float down dramatically. Hence why all target archers shoot with back bars. There are some other great stabilization videos out there explaining this better. The setup, how to, why, and explaining is top notch. Check it out.

Anyone please lemme know your thoughts on this

[@CMBDIA]

great info! some bows, i don't recall which in particular, advertise that you can put bars or weights near the top of the riser. is that a thing people do? never seen a rig set up that way. i wouldn't want a bow that is top heavy so i dont really see the point but curious to learn why

It is done sometimes in recurve archery with ILF, Olympic style recurves, but I've never seen it in compounds.

[@scottpomygalski6078]

Ehen you are shooting from a treestand. Do you want your bow at a 90 degree perpendicular angle to the ground? I get confused because they say bend at the waiste, then the bow is at an angle, whll when you release, the bow will then want to kick up when having a stabilizer. Can anyone Please help clarify.

[@christsideurbanstreetminis2183]

So I am curious if the bow does not feel like it is top heavy and doesn't want to lean forwards on you after you shoot It doesn't feel like it wants to drop back but you are getting vibration through it If you have cutouts in your riser can you put some kind of a rubber in there to help with the vibration or at that point are you compromising somewhere giving up something to get less vibration in the riser I guess I'm just wondering if that's an option instead of putting a stabilizer that sticks out the front of the bow adding front weight And I get there is side to side stabilization that you can do as well I just know people that put a stabilizer on to help absorb some of the vibrations they just put on one of those rubber stabilizers

Only reason I run a back bar is because I never take my tight spot quiver off and have a quiver full of 500 grain arrows. New bows, especially PSE are built to use only a front bar. Some don’t even need a front bar with these bigger sights. Remember and try this for yourself, every time you tweak your back bar your paper tune changes. Don’t go down the back bar rabbit hole if you don’t have to.

[@catlin-vn1sh]

Great explanation

[@steve8828]

If you mount your quiver “upside down” which puts the FOC below the grip, it eliminates or greatly reduces the need for a back bar.

[@averagejackarchery]

When mounted to the sight bracket, my quiver head maybe sits level with the grip at best, perhaps an inch or so down. Then I have 31" arrows sticking out the top. I wouldn't recommend putting a quiver upside down on any compound bow.

[@steve8828]

Average Jack Archery not all stabilizers mount on the sight. I have a 30.5” draw and a Mathews VXR. The stabilizer mounts to the riser below the grip. The bow balances well. How can you recommend not doing what you have never tried? It works great on a Mathews.

How did you attach the single v bar on the back for the read stabilizer?

[@dougfriendt8906]

I just saw this video attached to a AT post. Great job as usual. If a back bar alone properly balances a bow, why the need a front stabilizer? What does a front stabilizer add other than additional weight? Please let me know your thoughts. I'm shooting a Halon 32-7 which as you said is very top heavy.

[@averagejackarchery]

I've found the front bar adds more vibration dampening as well and just in general adds more mass below the grip. Both just help in balancing overall. But you're right, if one doesn't want the weight and a back bar alone balances the bow out, it's not entirely necessary if you don't want otn

[@dougfriendt8906]

@@averagejackarchery Thank you for the quick reply and info. Have a blessed day.

[@bryanc5540]

Sooooo, if the sight is so heavy that you need to add the back bar, why not just take the front bar off and adjust from there instead of adding an additional bar which adds more total bow weight? I’m even more confused now on stabilizers. Thought the idea of a stabilizer was to steady the pins on target, not to balance a bow.

[@averagejackarchery]

Stabilizers are definitely designed to help steady the bow, but also undoubtedly to level it off without the archer needing to torque anything. I've seen guys just run a backbar with their system and shoot really well. I like the overall mass weight I have below the grip right now and that's why I'm running both front and back. All personal preference.

So I've seen a few people discuss the balance of the bow in hand being helped by the back bar & weight, but isn't this argument somewhat flawed? The other factor that you didn't discuss is the second point of contact which is the release pulling the string to the rear at full draw. I'm truly interested in your thoughts, not trying to be a doubter. Thank for sharing.

[@averagejackarchery]

Correct, there is a another connection point, but that connection point doesn't offset side pressure/weight from the rest/sight/quiver. That pressure is always there and, if you have enough weight built up on that side of the bow from those accessories, it's a good idea to balance it out with weight rather than just force the bow to tilt back to level.

[@oddjob66]

Fai enough, I see the side weight issue as valid. Since it’s my first archery season,I’ll have to try it out after bow season this year.

[@Atheos119]

wouldn't you not need a back bar if you didn't use a front bar? My Mathew's Triax is pretty balanced without either one.

[@averagejackarchery]

All depends on the weight of that sight/rest/quiver. A back back is not just for front weight but more so for side weight. My front bar is there to help with noise as well as balance. My back bar is there for just balance. I've actually seen guys run just a back bar to compensate for a long, heavy single pin like a competition sight.

They don't take the time to learn HOW to shoot their bow effectively, frankly because they can't shoot all that well. They use the stabilizers to compensate for skill.
