Why Archers Choose ACU Archery S.O.S. Systems
ACU Archery developed the S.O.S. (Stability Optimization System) line using tuned-mass damper and engineered wire technology designed to reduce vibration, improve balance, and promote a steadier sight picture for archers. The result is a range of compact, highly adjustable stabilization systems that help archers reduce unwanted vibration, calm their sight picture, and execute shots with greater confidence and consistency.
Tuned-Mass Damper Technology for Bowhunters
The S.O.S. Hunter Elite is designed for bowhunters and compound archers who need reliable vibration reduction in the field. Its tuned-mass damper absorbs unwanted bow movement during the aiming and shot execution process, helping archers maintain a steadier hold under pressure. The quick disconnect mounting system allows for flexible positioning so archers can find the optimal balance point for their individual bow and shooting style.
Compact Stabilization for Compound Setups
The S.O.S. Heavy Medal delivers advanced stabilization in a compact, low-profile package suited for compound bow setups. Its mathematically engineered wire unit mounts directly to the bow with a 5/16" bolt and offers 360-degree adjustability for personalized tuning. Developed by professional archers and engineers, the Heavy Medal is field-tested to improve bow balance and reduce unwanted movement without adding bulk to your setup.
Engineered for Barebow Archery
The S.O.S. Heavy Medal Barebow brings the same wire-based stabilization technology to barebow and single-string archery applications. Designed specifically for the demands of barebow competition and target shooting, it provides the stability and balance control that serious barebow archers need to shoot consistently at distance. Like the Heavy Medal, it offers 360-degree adjustability and a streamlined direct-mount installation.
