The original EQ Damper is designed to integrate seamlessly with our 1.25” diameter weights, stacking cleanly in your system while cutting vibration.

There are two main ways to set up the EQ Damper: sandwiched between two weights with weight on both sides of the damper (which is what we recommended) or directly on the stabilizer, with all weights on the outside of the damper.

Each durometer of EQ Damper pairs best with a certain range of weight on the outside. Use these as guidelines:

• 30 durometer (softest): 1–4 oz
  
  
• 40 durometer (medium): 4–8 oz
  
  
• 50 durometer (firmest): 8–12 oz
  
  

These ranges are not hard limits. They’re designed to give you a reliable starting place before you start fine-tuning.

Because the EQ Damper is built to work with weight on both sides, you can mix and match nearly any durometer with any total mass weight.

For example,
If you're running 8 ounces of front weight with a 40 durometer EQ Damper, but it feels too floppy with all 8 ounces on the outside, you can start shifting some of the mass weight inwards. Place part of the weight stack between the stabilizer and the damper, and leave the rest on the outside until you hit the feel you want.
This method of balancing inside vs. outside weight is the key to unlocking the best feedback and bow reaction for your shot style.

The “perfect” damper setup isn’t the same for everyone. Some archers prefer a firm, solid feel that preserves every bit of aiming stability. Others value maximum damping, even if it adds a touch more flex.

You'll know you're close to the right balance when you like how your bow sounds when it's shot, how your bow feels in your hand, and if your bow steadily aims without feeling loose or floppy.

In the end, the best damping setup is highly personal. If your bow feels and performs the way you want then you’ve found the right configuration for you.
