Lots of trad bows, especially the older ones, had a bushing you can use for a stabilizer--most use it for a bowfishing reel though. Most any custom bowyer will offer it, if the riser design allows.
I've heard of a very few using them. I never have--don't need one for hunting, not legal for tournaments I shoot in--but it might help with some bows.

Guess what I am sayign is traditional has different meanings for different people.
Trad is exactly what it says on the Tin , Traditional gear without the Add-ons . I don't think there are many that shoot trad gear with stab on the front , even if they got the bushing .

Many might call it a bow quiver.
Like the guys at shoots who have a bow quiver filled with arrows but shoot those from another quiver they carry.
Stabilizers ate as "traditional" as glass in bows, fastflight, and about 100 other things.
I use one on my hunting bow - what some call it really doesn't matter.

If I remember correctly, the gentleman I was referring to has severe arthritus, and the stablilizer reduced the shock in his bow so it wasn't so painful to shoot.
Seems I saw a picture of a state record whitetail a year or three ago killed with a.......Hoyt, I think--metal riser recurve--and it had a stabilizer on it.
I don't really care myself--I shoot a longbow with wood arrows most of the time, and selfbows, and on a rare occassion a recurve. If I liked it better, it wouldn't bother me to shoot a recurve with carbon arrows and a stablilizer.
