Bow stabilizer

Abstract

A stabilizer for dampening bow string and arrow release forces, which stabilizer includes, in a preferred embodiment, a cylindrical housing fitted with a pair of end caps, one of which end caps receives a threaded stud for mounting the housing on a bow. The opposite end cap is fitted with a tapped opening for mounting one of many accessory items which are well known to those skilled in the art. A flexible, pliant, deformable and resilient suppressor member is disposed inside the cylindrical housing and includes a bore for receiving a metal core. In one embodiment the suppressor member is pinched by means of retaining rings near each end of the core to maintain the core in a selected position. The core is therefore free to exhibit multidirectional movement and depress the resilient suppressor member in response to release of an arrow from the bow, to dampen the arrow release forces, bow string vibration and other forces acting on the bow.
