The contents of stabilizers for archery bows in the past have been a non-removable material that is permanently sealed inside the stabilizer housing unit by the manufacturer. Most stabilizers are made from tubular aluminum or other lightweight materials. The inside contents of the tubular stabilizers vary, such as fluid, granular steel, granular rubber, lead or solid elastomer, none of which can be moved around, altered or removed or added to by the archer. A unique feature of this device is that the housing of the stabilizer can be easily opened and re-closed securely by the archer, enabling the archer to remove, replace, adjust, change, add to or subtract from the contents, in order to get the exact desired weight, balance and/or vibration and sound dampening effect. An additional unique feature of this design is that the contents can consist of weighted material inside removable soft elastomer modular units of various sizes and/or mass weights. The weighted material can be made of steel or lead shot, ball bearings, weight rods, capsules filled with fluid, or fluid plus weighted pellets, or any combination of these weighted materials. Any or all of these can be suspended and/or sealed or molded inside the soft elastomer modules. This weighted material and/or fluid suspended in the elastomer absorbs vibration and sound, and the vibration and sound then is dissipated and absorbed further by the elastomer, then by the stabilizer housing itself. The archer can use different sized and/or weighted sections or internal modules, packets, that fit and/or stack snugly inside the housing of the stabilizer. The archer can change them easily, at will, to get the desired weight, balance and/or amount of vibration and sound dampening. The size and weight of these removable internal vibration dampening modules are only limited by the inside volume of the hollow chamber of the stabilizer housing that attaches to the bow. Another unique feature of this design is that two or more stabilizer housing of the same or varying sizes and shapes can be joined together, with or without an O-ring compressed between the stabilizer housings, to make one longer modular stabilizer with adjustable internal variable weight components. Also, a system of offset brackets and/or V-bars can be used to secure one or more of these stabilizer units in a position not normally available because of the limitations and configuration of a particular archery bow handle/riser.
