Abstract
An adjustable stabilizer device for use on a bow to reduce and delay torque and other detrimental forces resulting from shooting thereof, including a housing containing a hydraulic component threadably carried therein. The hydraulic component includes a weight housing carrying a weight centered between opposing springs and moveably contained within hydraulic fluid. The adjustable stabilizer device is adjustable by moving the hydraulic component within the housing to counter differing forces generated by different bows.
Claims21
An adjustable stabilizer device for use in combination with a bow, said device comprising:
- a tubular housing having an attachment end, a free end, and a threaded interior;
- attachment means for attaching said tubular housing to said bow;
- and
- a hydraulic component having a threaded exterior configured to threadably engage said threaded interior;
- wherein
- said hydraulic component is carried within said tubular housing such that the axial position of said hydraulic component is adjustable between said attachment end and said free end.
A stabilized bow comprising:
- a handle riser having a front, a top end, and a bottom end;
- a top limb extending from said top end;
- a bottom limb extending from said bottom end;
- a tubular housing having a free end, an attachment end removably coupled to said front of said handle riser, and a threaded interior;
- and
- a hydraulic component having a threaded exterior configured to threadably engage said threaded interior;
- wherein
- said hydraulic component is carried within said tubular housing such that the axial position of said hydraulic component is adjustable between said attachment end and said free end.
A method of stabilizing a bow comprising the steps of:
- providing an adjustable stabilizer device including:
- a tubular housing having an attachment end, a free end, and a threaded interior;
- attachment means for attaching said tubular housing to said bow;
- and
- a hydraulic component having a threaded exterior configured to threadably engage said threaded interior of said tubular housing;
- attaching said adjustable stabilizer device to said bow;
- and
- axially adjusting a position of said hydraulic component within said tubular housing to stabilize said bow.
