Abstract
An archery bow stabilizer comprises a set of four rods or arms which extend from an attachment block, which block is attachable to a standard stabilizer attachment fitting on an archery bow. The attachment block defines a common intersection for each pair of arms, thereby providing a simple resolution of the forces involved, and provides for each of the four arms to extend into one of the four quadrants defined by the longitudinal and lateral axes of the bow. The outer tip of each of the stabilizing arms or rods is downwardly disposed, thereby providing additional clearance for the archer's arm and sight line, and also for the release of an arrow from the bow. The downwardly disposed arms include removably adjustable masses at their tips, which also serve to lower the common center of mass of the bow and stabilizer assembly to a point approximating the hand grip of the bow, for greater stability. The present stabilizer is particularly suited for use with compound bows, but may be used with conventional long bows as well.
