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. ## Claims ### Claim 1 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. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The archery bow stabilizer of claim 1 comprising a mounting bracket defining an aperture through which a fastener is positioned, the fastener adapted to join with the archery bow riser. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The archery bow stabilizer of claim 1 wherein the first clamping element defines a rod recess, wherein the first stabilizing rod is slidably received in the recess then the first clamping element is in the unclamped mode. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The archery bow stabilizer of claim 1 wherein the first clamping element includes a separately constructed bracket clamp member joined with the first mounting arm, wherein at least one of the first mounting arm and the bracket clamp member define at least a portion of the rod recess. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The archery bow stabilizer of claim 1 comprising a mounting bracket adapted to join with the archery bow riser, the mounting bracket including a registration element, wherein the mounting arm is registered with the registration element of the mounting bracket and joined with the mounting bracket via a fastener. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The archery stabilizer of claim 5 comprising a leveling device joined with the mounting bracket, whereby the mounting bracket can be consistently mounted to the riser of the archery bow. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The archery stabilizer of claim 1, wherein the first clamping element includes a first arm end defining a first recess portion, wherein the first clamping element includes a first bracket clamp member defining a second recess portion, wherein the first bracket clamp member is secured to the first arm end with a fastener, wherein the first recess portion and second recess portion cooperatively engage and surround at least a portion of the first stabilizing rod in the clamped mode, wherein the fastener is adjustable so as to draw the first bracket clamp member and first arm end closer relative to one another to clampingly engage the first stabilizing rod. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The archery stabilizer of claim 1, wherein the first clamping element includes a first arm end, wherein the first clamping element includes a first bracket clamp member, wherein at least one of the first arm end and the first bracket clamp member define a rod recess of the same contour as the first stabilizing rod. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The archery bow stabilizer of claim 8 wherein the first bracket clamp member defines first and second holes located near opposite surfaces of the first stabilizing rod. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The archery bow stabilizer of claim 9 comprising a first fastener and a second fastener, the first fastener disposed at least partially through the first hole, the second fastener disposed at least partially through the second hole. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The archery bow stabilizer of claim 10 wherein the first arm end defines threaded holes aligned with the first and second holes defined by the first bracket clamp member. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The archery bow stabilizer of claim 11 wherein the first and second fasteners are threaded into the threaded holes. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The archery bow stabilizer of claim 1 wherein the first stabilizer rod projects and extends through the first clamping element. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The archery stabilizer of claim 13, wherein the first clamping element defines a rod recess, wherein the first mounting arm defines a first portion of the rod recess, and wherein a bracket clamp member defines a second portion of the rod recess. ### Claim 15 (depends on 1) The archery bow stabilizer of claim 1, wherein the mounting arm element defines a connector aperture sized to secure a fastener positioned at least partially through the aperture to secure the stabilizer to archery bow.
