Choosing bow accessories
Adapters, dampers, hooks, and other add-ons should attach to a named mounting point and leave the bow’s moving parts free to work.
The short answer
Choose accessories with a mount and bow-family fit that clears the bow through its full draw.
Mount adapters and threads
Read the mount description and verify the exact interface. A stabilizer bushing, sight mount, quiver bracket, and rail adapter are not interchangeable just because their threads look similar.
Bow family compatibility
Check compatibility with the exact bow model when an accessory sits against the riser or cable guard. Mathews directs owners to its current manual or an authorized retailer for model-specific service information. (Mathews technical FAQ)
Cable, string, and limb clearance
Follow the bow and accessory makers’ instructions to check clearance through the draw. If you cannot confirm that strings, cables, limbs, and the rest move freely, ask a qualified bow shop to inspect the setup.
Mounting hardware after travel
Before shooting, check that mounting hardware is secure and that each accessory still clears the bow’s moving parts.

What should I check before shooting?
Follow the bow maker’s fitting instructions and confirm each accessory stays secure and clear of moving parts.
