All personal preference. Tinker to see what works best. Not much impact given short bars but you’ll notice when you find the right spot.

A conservative guess for my target bow it takes me 1000+ shots to get it set where I can forget it. That is very conservative as I can shoot 1000 arrows a week sometimes and it’s usually a couple month process to feel I got it in exactly the best place for me. Yes I can set it close enough in a week to post decent scores, but I don’t feel “it” until a ways down the road.

 

I would not call the back bar in pic bottom of the bow. My set up is like your pic but that’s due to the 3D class I shoot. Most mount the back bar down lower on the riser using a different mounting bracket. I’ve read lower is better but have no personal experience with that.

 

I generally want my bars mounted as low as is realistically feasible. Main reason is the further down you put the weight, the more of an effect you get of the bow resisting the urge to tip, and resisting the tenancy of torquing the bow on the shot. Always put the moment of inertia the furthest point away from the fulcrum that you can. In this case the MOI is the weight on your stabilizer setup, the fulcrum is your hand. You would be hard pressed to be disappointed if you follow this simple physics lesson.

 

This is my most current setup minus the orbital dampeners on the riser. I turned the Atlas upside down, otherwise it’s too close to the limbs for my liking. I really wish there was a way to mount it a little higher on the back of the riser like through the quiver mount hole so it was easier to adjust without being so close to the limbs.

They make back bar mounts that can go thru a hole in the riser. My brother has a prime and it doesn't have a rear threaded bushing. This bowfinger mount is what he has. With this mount you could utilize the hole right below your grip or the hole right beside the riser dampener

Thanks everyone for your replys. I actually put the back bar on the bottom riser like REM788. It makes sense mounting the back bar lower. Not sure if my smaller bars will make a big difference. I'll work with this for a while.

Thanks again

I use a small one at the bottom of the riser, offset, to the rear, mostly to balance the bow in my hand…

Do the really long ones on target bows steady your aim?

 

I run mine through the bottom-left hole in the riser, with it kicked out and down a little.

 

That is more a standard fix for a back bar. Just pointing slight down isn't mounted low.

My ok archery 38 Absolute. Back stab mounted in low position. Higher is a hole for standard mounting...
