New bling

Decided to bling up my bow with some side rods this week.  The side rods slightly help dampen out lateral rotation, but more importantly bring the balance point of the bow back a bit (it's a little too heavy for me now with the right amount of weight on the end of the long rod to stablise adequately).

First, yez all needs a v-bar.  I found a nice Win&Win carbon fibre one on eBay, makes a change from the normal machined aluminium.  Nice stainless inserts, too.

Now, we need the side rods themselves.  These are 12" carbon Doinkers with A-bombs - the rubber wotsits on the ends.  They're a bit like any anti vibration mount, two opposing bolts with the heads vulcanised into a rubber block.  The rubber is stiff enough that in normal use it's more or less rigid, but under vibration it allows some flex... to the nice little stainless cap weights, which eat up the vibration.

Doinker!

Here's what they look like assembled, albeit not on the bow yet.  Normally, you bolt the v-bar to the bow riser and leave it there, and just mount the bars as required.

And the finished bling.
