All you guys talked about adding weight to your bows,I must ask why??But i'm guessing for stability right,What kind of thing do you add for weigh and what is the right amount or is it just add untill it feel stable???This seems like a dumb question but i had to ask,I know in the compounds you try and add the lightest add on's you can find.

The extra weight makes the bow alot more stable. I accuracey increases greatly whem I install a quiver. My Great Northern quiver also absorbs alot of recoil too.

I've got a Great Northern strap on quiver. It attaches the risor with two rubber straps.

You can also get quivers that slide on the limbs too.

i like my bows light...i wonder how long it will be that we will see screw adapter holes put in the back risor so old compound shooters can add a 5# hunk of steel called a stabilizer...oh man...just like limbsavors!!!i hate holes in recurves and longbows,ruined the 1971 bear bows and up!!!:rant:
