I mostly use an Angled Quick Release because when I had a Long Rod in my vision I spent more time watching the tip twitch than Aiming the Scope at the target. I have used a cup (attached to my quiver belt) to set my Back Bar in while I load my arrow and set my sight.

I destroyed a Cam by (carelessly ?) Setting my bow on the floor, I haven't had an issue since I started using a stand. Have contemplated using a V Bar and setting the two bars to act as a permanent Bow stand (but I like a bias single rod setup and I would need to add extra weight to offset the extra bar, still tempted to try it sometime !)

Thanks!!! What about choice of weight. The How? what perfect amount of weight? Weight on the bottom of the riser? Heavy or not? Advantage vs negative. Dampaner and choice of them?

[@raphael6488]

So is the offsetting of the down angle only for uphill or how would it help shooting target e.g simply indoor

[@liamboyle9199]

I have offset my down angle bar on my target bows for at least a few years now. I do it to allow me to kick my side bar out just a hair more than usual, which gives me a bit more room to move and or, at least in my mind, spreads the weight just every so slightly more in the lateral (left right) axis. That being said, I am probably an outlier for offsetting it for target😂

RE what you said about having the front bar off the bottom - my hunting bow is a 30 ATA and I just couldn't get a stable pin. I actually used a side bar mount off a lower back bar mount hole but pivoted it all the way around to face forward. So the front bar actually attaches to the bottom of the riser above the left limb pivot, running down the left side of the bow. Suddenly it was like a new bow. I can sit the bow on the ground with a nocked arrow leant against a tree without the broadhead hitting the ground, the bar running alongside the left of the bow offsets the quiver and all the little jitters and manipulations you can put into a short ATA bow are gone. I'd tried front 10 degree down angles, more weight, side bars etc and doing what I described above was literally the cure all with just one bar mounted off the lowest possible position.
