The Lore stabilizer uses a somewhat different approach to absorbing vibrations that occur when a bow is being shot. The design of the Lore incorporates six steel rods surrounding a rubber damping element. The rods act like a tuning fork and direct the vibrations from the bow into the rubber damping element. The rubber stays flexible at temperatures well below zero degrees. I put a Lore on my Hoyt MT Sport and noticed an imediate reduction in overall noise at the shot and a reduction in vibration in the grip of the bow. There was also an improvement in how the bow shoots, this stabilizer works and its going to stay on that bow. This is a hunting stabilizer but it works like one twice its weight and length.
