New Bowtech Stabilizer
 

Here is the new Bowtech stabilizer called the "Wild Thing". I guess that is the best way to describe it. Well anyway here it is.

That definately is one Wild looking Thing!! Is it made by Bowtech, or is another company making it for them? Anyone tested it out yet?

RE: New Bowtech Stabilizer
 

Not sure if they are made in house or not but I have had mine ( the one pictured above):) for a couple of months now and to be honest the thing actually works extremely well I have compared it to several other stabilizers I have here and it performed better than my beloved Sorbotek;)

Is it bent near the base?

RE: New Bowtech Stabilizer
 

Yes it has a bend in it so you can have it offset to counter the weight of a bow mounted quiver;)

Bent to offset a mounted quiver?????


BRILLIANT!!

In honor of those funny beer commercials[8D]

Do you guys actually shoot with your quivers on your bows? Just curious? First thing I do when getting up in my treestand is remove and hang the quiver. My two bownhunting buddies used to leave their quivers on until they started removing them and now they won't ever go back, lots of advantages to removing it (unless you are stalking).

RE: New Bowtech Stabilizer
 

The amount of 'bend' would, IMPO, not be enough to 'offset' the weight of a quiver loaded with arrows. The 'bend' would be better used trying to offset any torque the bow might have due to extenuating circumstances. They make offset brackets for effectively 'balance' a bow due to side weight problems.

As far as shooting with the quiver on the bow, it is usually not done unless stalking is the preferred way of hunting. It is, however, still done by many who hunt out of treestands; but, it is only a small percentage of those treestand hunters.

Yes sir, I did last year for the first time ever. I bought a BowTech 4 arrow 2 piece quiver. I loved the non hassle of having to remove it and put it back on every hunt. I will more than likely buy another 3 or 4 arrow 2 piece quiver again this year.

RE: New Bowtech Stabilizer
 

Is there any extra noise? I don't mind shooting with my quiver on but it is noisy as all getout. Its a 6 arrow Kwikee.

RE: New Bowtech Stabilizer
 

Not at all. I attached split limb limbsavers to the extra mounting holes on my BowTech 2 piece. Quiet as a whisper[8D]

2 Piece quivers are inherently more quiet than a one piece.

RE: New Bowtech Stabilizer
 

Any links on where those stabilizers can be obtained?

RE: New Bowtech Stabilizer
 

How does the stabilizer mount, I see that it screws in, but how do you get the bend to face the opposite direction of the quiver.

RE: New Bowtech Stabilizer
 

It has a collar washer that can be adjusted to actually tighten it down. You screw the stab in like normal...when you get to where it's nearly tight you put the bend where you want it and finish locking it down with the collar.

It works and works well.

RE: New Bowtech Stabilizer
 

It is not ment to offset a quiver. It's meant to decrease the pendulum effects of the bow and make it easier to hold the bow level. Atleast that's what the guys at the Bowtech proshop told me.
