Side bar and mount.

Here's how I made a side bar and mount.

For the bar I used 1/2 inch electrical conduit.
The end caps are the brass of a 12 gauge shell.
And the mount is angle iron.

I first cut a 8 inch piece of conduit.Then I cut the plastic part of the 12 gauge shell and drilled holes in them.

After that I put the bolt through the brass end from the inside out.Before glueing the end caps on I filled the rod with sand to give it some weight.Then I glued the ends onto the conduit.

After that I got down to making the mount.This was done by getting two 1 inch pieces of angle iron and drilling a small hole and bolting them together.
After that I had to grind a corner of the one piece to allow it to rotate.

With the mount and bar both finished I bolted them together,this is from the bottom
Here's a top view
The second hole is for the stabilizer to go through.

Then I put it onto the bow and here's the finished product.
I'll probably paint it to match my other diy stabilizer

 

The best part ?,it didn't cost me a penny as I had everything in our shop.

 

I painted the side bar last night and just put it on along with my other DIY stab and so far I really like it.

 

good job! what bow is that?

 

Thanks,it's a Mission Craze.
