Abstract

A stabilizer comprises at least two tubes, a first end cap comprising a fastening member formed on a proximal end of one of the at least two tubes wherein the end cap is formed to fixedly engage with a bow, a compression fitting for rigidly fixing the at least two tubes together, and a second end cap comprising a fastening member formed on a distal end of one of the at least two tubes wherein the second end cap is formed to fixedly engage with at least one weight.

Claims (48)

1. A stabilizer comprising:

at least two tubes;

a first end cap comprising a fastening member formed on a proximal end of one of said at least two tubes wherein said end cap is formed to fixedly engage with a bow;

a compression fitting for rigidly fixing said at least two tubes together;

a second end cap comprising a fastening member formed on a distal end of one of said at least two tubes wherein said second end cap is formed to fixedly engage with at least one weight; and

a mounting platform configured to fixedly engage with said first end cap said mounting platform further comprising at least one strap slot formed through a rim of said mounting platform.

2. The stabilizer of claim 1 wherein said at least two tubes are further configured such that each of said tubes has a decreasing diameter such that a next of said at least two tubes can be positioned inside a previous of said at least two tubes.

3. The stabilizer of claim 1 wherein said compression fitting further comprises:

a locking collar;

a compression knuckle; and

a compression member inside said compression knuckle wherein said compression knuckle can be engaged with said locking collar thereby compressing said compression member.

4. The stabilizer of claim 1 wherein said mounting platform further comprises:

at least one indent formed in said mounting platform; and

at least one threaded mounting stub wherein said mounting stub is configured to fixedly attach to said first end cap.

5. The stabilizer of claim 1 wherein said mounting platform further comprises:

at least one cutout formed in said indent formed in said mounting platform.

6. The stabilizer of claim 1 wherein said mounting platform further comprises:

at least one strap wherein said strap is configured to hold an optical device on said mounting platform.

7. The stabilizer of claim 6 wherein said optical device comprises one of:

binoculars;

a scope;

a spotting scope;

a telescope; and

a range finder.

8. A system for stabilization comprising:

at least two tubes;

a first end cap comprising a fastening member formed on a proximal end of one of said at least two tubes wherein said end cap is formed to fixedly engage with a bow;

a compression fitting for rigidly fixing said at least two tubes together;

a second end cap comprising a fastening member formed on a distal end of one of said at least two tubes wherein said second end cap is formed to fixedly engage with at least one weight; and

a mounting platform configured to fixedly engage with said first end cap said mounting platform further comprising at least one strap slot formed through a rim of said mounting platform.

9. The system of claim 8 wherein said at least two tubes are further configured such that each of said tubes has a decreasing diameter such that a next of said at least two tubes can be positioned inside a previous of said at least two tubes.

10. The system of claim 8 wherein said compression fitting further comprises:

a locking collar;

a compression knuckle; and

a compression member inside said compression knuckle wherein said compression knuckle can be engaged with said locking collar thereby compressing said compression member.

11. The system of claim 8 wherein said mounting platform further comprises:

at least one indent formed in said mounting platform; and

at least one threaded mounting stub wherein said mounting stub is configured to fixedly attach to said first end cap.

12. The system of claim 8 wherein said mounting platform further comprises:

at least one cutout formed in said indent formed in said mounting platform.

13. The system of claim 8 wherein said mounting platform further comprises:

at least one strap wherein said strap is configured to hold an optical device on said mounting platform.

14. The system of claim 13 wherein said optical device comprises one of:

binoculars;

a scope;

a spotting scope;

a telescope; and

a range finder.
