ACU Archery S.O.S. Heavy Medal Barebow - Condensed SOS Unit

About the product

The S.O.S. Heavy Medal Barebow is a purpose-built stabilization solution developed specifically for single-string archers who require compact balance control without compromising mounting flexibility. Designed through collaboration between professional archers and expert engineers, this unit translates mathematically modeled concepts into a field-confirmed, rugged product engineered for real-world shooting environments.

This Barebow-specific model allows the unit to be mounted directly to the bow riser using a standard 5/16 inch bolt (7.94 mm), which is included. The direct-mount approach reduces system complexity while increasing rigidity, allowing stabilizing forces to act closer to the bow’s center of mass. The result is a more controlled aiming pattern achieved without the need for extended stabilizer assemblies or external hardware.

At the core of the Heavy Medal Barebow is a compact, wire-based damping system that has been mathematically engineered and field validated. The wire unit counteracts unwanted movement during the aiming cycle while maintaining a minimal footprint tailored for barebow setups. Stainless steel construction ensures long-term durability, resistance to fatigue, and consistent performance under repeated use.

The unit provides full 360-degree adjustability, allowing archers to fine tune positioning based on personal shooting mechanics and riser geometry. While orientation is fully adjustable, a vertical or parallel wire alignment is recommended to maximize stability benefits and maintain predictable response characteristics. This adjustability enables precise tuning without altering the core setup.

Included with the S.O.S. Heavy Medal Barebow are 5 oz (141.75 g) and 0.25 oz (7.1 g) weight inserts, allowing controlled mass adjustment while preserving the compact design. These weights support micro-adjustments that help achieve optimal balance without introducing unnecessary bulk or interfering with other mounting locations.

One of the defining advantages of this unit is its reduced device footprint. By occupying minimal space on the riser, the Heavy Medal Barebow preserves additional mounting options for accessories while still delivering effective stabilization. This makes it particularly suitable for archers seeking simplicity, efficiency, and compliance with barebow equipment philosophies.
