From there it is worth the time and effort to have them try some different models of different lengths and weights. Regardless of which stabilizer you put on the bow, they will likely feel and hear the difference.

Once they have shot the bow and know what it is like to shoot bare bones, it’s time to put on a stabilizer. In my opinion, having them shoot each bow without a stabilizer is the best option.

Having several different stabilizer options for customers is the best way to show them what they might be missing. Make it known to them that beyond making it easier to hold the bow on target, a stabilizer will also lead to much less vibration and noise on the shot. So, articulating why you have one and why your customer should consider one, should be your goal.

That being said, as a shop owner, you no doubt have a high-quality stabilizer bolted on your bow, and know full well the benefits of using it. These comments are true to an extent with bows being quieter and deader in hand than ever.

I hear it all the time from friends, on the Internet, or when I am in the pro shop: “I don’t need a stabilizer.” Still, you have to overcome some preconceived notions when it comes to stabilizers. Educating your customers about using the right stabilizer for a better-balanced bow can surely lead to more sales and happier customers. Stabilizers are an interesting piece of equipment because they generally don’t have any moving parts and they are kind of “just there.” For something not very glamorous or flashy, they are an important part of ultimate accuracy. Many shooters today rely on front and back bars to better balance their compound bow. It goes beyond just saying, “This is what I sell, and it’s X amount of dollars.” You should explain to them exactly what it is, how it works, and what they can expect from that product after they purchase it. It is always a good idea to let customers know that you can order other products, but be willing and ready to explain to them why the products you carry are worthy of their consideration.īeing able to educate consumers on a certain quiver or stabilizer is pivotal. So, having a good sampling of varying products that you know work well will usually suffice. If you own or manage a small- or medium-sized shop, I’m sure you know all too well that this isn’t generally your reality. Big box stores have the luxury of plenty of wall space and usually investors with deep pockets they can afford to carry seemingly every product made. This can take some research, but it’s worth the time for your bottom line.Īnother consideration is how many different options to have on hand. Of course, as storeowners, you must sell products where money can be made, so we should always strive to find the best products with good margins. Simply just grabbing “whatever” off the shelf and strapping it on a bow can work, but picking the right quiver or stabilizer can lead to a better and more accurate shooting experience.ĭeciding which products to stock your shelves is always a challenge. Yes, all of these are, of course, important decisions, but often overlooked are which stabilizer and quiver best fits a particular archer/bowhunter. Once they settle on the right bow for them, the next obvious and nearly exciting choices are the arrow rest and bowsight that best fits both their shooting style as well as their pocketbook. When customers walk into a pro shop to purchase a new bow setup, there is a lot of talk about which compound is the smoothest, quietest or fastest.
