the Avalon Inflexible stabilizer is only 16mm in diameter and because of its double core of high modulus carbon, it is still stiff enough for competitive compound archery. Using a stiff stabilizer can have positive effects on your aiming picture by taking some of the wobble out of the bow. Since this stabilizer uses 5/16 threads, it is easy to get extra weights to play around with the balance of your bow. A smaller diameter stabilizer will often outperform a big diameter one in windy conditions because of the lower surface area. This stabilizer is available in different lengths, to be able to balance your bow even more precisely.
