Abstract
An archery bow stabilizer that balances an archery bow and generally inhibits roll, pitch and/or yaw of the bow when the bow is held, drawn, or shot by an archer. The stabilizer can include an optional mounting bracket that mounts to the riser of an archery bow, one or more mounting arms, and one or more stabilizing rods joined with the arms via clamping elements. The rods can be movable forward and rearward relative to the mounting bracket and/or riser to provide a variety of weight adjustment and distribution capabilities. Optional weights can be joined with ends of the rods to provide further weight adjustment and distribution.

An archery bow stabilizer adapted to mount to a riser of an archery bow, the stabilizer comprising:
- a mounting arm element including a portion adapted to be located proximal the archery bow riser and a first mounting arm adapted to extend outwardly on a first side of the archery bow riser;
- a first clamping element, joined with a first end of the first mounting arm, distal from the mounting bracket, the first clamping element operable in a clamped mode and an unclamped mode, the first clamping element adapted to be positioned on the first side of the archery bow riser;
- a first stabilizing rod slidably received by the first clamping element when the first clamping element is in the unclamped mode so that the first stabilizing rod can be slid at least one of forward and backward to redistribute a weight of the first stabilizing rod in at least one of two lateral quadrants, the first stabilizing rod fixedly held by the first clamping element when the first clamping element is in the clamped mode, the first stabilizing rod extending forwardly and rearwardly of the riser, the first stabilizing rod including a first end and a second end, the first end adapted to be located forward of the riser in a first quadrant of the stabilizer, the second end adapted to be located rearward of the riser in a second quadrant of the stabilizer when the stabilizer is mounted to the riser;
- and
- a first weight element joined with the first end of the first stabilizing rod and a second weight element joined with the second end of the first stabilizing rod, the first weight element selectively positioned in the first quadrant, the second weight element selectively positioned in the second quadrant, whereby the first stabilizing rod balances the archery bow and reduces or eliminates at least one of roll, pitch and yaw of the archery bow.
