Side weight vs back bar

[Coopsdaddy]

I have a older mathews sbxt and would like to stay away from a back bar if I get lucky and it balances out.Theres the lower quiver hole and wondering if any of you add weight to the left side there vs a back bar.Similar to this.

you certainly could get away without a back bar. heck you could do no weight off that one side if you shoot enough reps.

most people dont know how or what back bars do in the first place let alone why they would need one.

if your wanting to avoid using a back bar , I would just shoot a ton of reps through it to make sure it holds how you want.

I'd recommend looking into a Beestinger Counterslide 15" Dovetail. Best of all worlds IMHO - you can move it forward/back and add weight front/back to get things just right.

I’ll look into that.
My tac setup last year was a 15 inch front and 8 inch back,I think I had 2 oz on the front and 6 on the back.
Felt good but I just didn’t like the back bar,I prefer my tac setup to be as close to my hunting setup.Just trying to slim it down.
I do love the front bar cause I can use it as a brace to hold bow on the ground.
