*deep breath* OK, take 2.

OK, the previous bow stab setup was best described as a miserable failure, to put it politely.

It looked cool but was impossible to shoot; the balance was waaaay forward, and the left short rod fouled my bow arm constantly. After a bit of a sulk I managed to cobble together a working semblance of a rig with spares, but have been waiting for proper parts to come in.

Enter the Doinker AVBR module.


Ideally I would have had one of the single sided versions, but these are currently unobtainium, and it was pointed out that (a) I can unbolt one end to serve the same porpoise, (b) the double sided mount is much stronger, and (c) they'd do it for the same price.  SOLD.

After MUCH dicking about I have arrived at the following left-side-only rig:


The rod balances the weight of the sight, which means I have been able to remove the 100gm keel weight I had on before, making the whole rig lighter.  The AVBM allows me to sweep the rod both down and back for balance and keel, I may end up swivelling it out a bit for balance once I get it on the range.
