The lower the stabilizer is to the bottom of the bow the less weight it takes on it to balance the bow. Stabilizers mounted down low can be a little shorter and lighter and do the same thing as a longer heavier one mounted up high.

 

Lower center of gravity. Just like using a 10deg down QD on your stab, move the weight down low.

Attachment point alone really does not change the overall balance of the bow. (except of course if the hardware is different for one mounting position compared to another)

However, what will change by moving the attachment is how the bow reacts when shot. Wherever the weight is attached will resist movement more, so you an certainly change the feel of the bow by changing the attachment. Low attachment has been very popular in recent years, but there seem to be a resurgence of high/front attachment among a lot of high level shooters, especially those running a lot of front weight.

On a side note, I've seen a few mounted super low that actually affected the paper tune of the bow. I imagine it caused some weird flex in the riser. I've had it happen on 3-4 bows I've worked on..no backbar attached with a bullet hole, stick it on there and funkiness.

 

I actually drilled and tapped the riser on my Nitrum to accept a low/rear stab and weight. I wanted it there that bad.

The bow originally felt like it was front heavy. It's hard to explain, but I felt like it just needed more weight under my grip...specifically towards the rear.

After I put on the back stab, it's like a night and day difference. It may or may not have helped me shoot better, but the bow just 'feels right' now.

 

My Hoyt podium I was shooting I did not like low mount stabilizer .

 

Good thread, been wondering about this also, as im debating on trying a back bar for the first time ever on my E35.
