Company Profile: Precision Balance (by Doinker)

Creating alternate brand identities so as to service different price points in the market seems to be the standard industry practice in archery these days. Win&Win has Sebastian Flute, Cartel Doosung has Infitec and Cartel Midas, Easton has Beman, Fivics has Soma and now Doinker has Precision Balance. Having been in the works for several years, Doinker announced at the beginning of 2013 the introduction of a new brand and product line to be introduced during the spring/summer of the same year. I am happy to announce that Precision Balance products are now available for purchase.

Now, to back up a bit and give some history. The stabilizer manufacturer we now know as Doinker actually started back in 1992 under the name Precision Balance with the introduction of the industry's first production carbon fiber stabilizer. Since then and since the introduction of their vibration dampening device Doinker is mostly known for it's pursuit of vibration elimination.

I will say on an editorial note, Doinker produces a top notch product. I own a 4th generation stabilizer set (28inch front bar and 8 inch v-bar) and their quality and effectiveness is hard to beat. However, given that modern compounds don't kick like a mule any more and a well tuned recurve actually produces a rather pleasant "hum" I find it difficult to justify the need for vibration dampening. Take that out of the equation and a stabilizer simply serves as a stick with a weight and in which case I am equally happy with my Sebastian Flute Axiom+ gear which is available at nearly 1/4 the price.

Precision Balance (the new one), continues this legacy; introducing a vibration suppression technology that functions in a completely different manner than the Doinker products and is available at a much lower price point. From what I understand, the Precision Balance products eliminate vibration through the use of free floating weights that shift slightly during the shot and there by suppresses or eliminates vibration.

At the current time Precision Balance products are only available directly from the factory. For more information or to place an order check out their website here

Just as with Infitec/Cartel, I wish the fine people at Doinker/Precision Balance the best of luck!
