Most conversations about target compound equipment revolve around specs — bar lengths, stiffness, total mass weight, and numbers. This conversation is about what actually matters when you’re shooting.

2024 Paralympic Champion Jason Tabansky joins Joe and Maddie from RamRods Archery to cover:

How weight distribution affects execution and hold

Front vs back weight tradeoffs on a compound setup

How different bows require different stabilizer set ups

Why balance on paper doesn’t always translate to stability in practice

How experienced archers evaluate equipment changes over time

Why blindly copying other setups rarely works

Jason is an experienced, high-level target compound archer who shoots from a wheelchair, offering a perspective shaped by the need for repeatability, and long-term consistency.

This is not a “best setup” talk. It’s a practical, experience-based discussion about decision-making, not trends.
