Available for preorder now
BEAM Carbon
Standard modulus carbon with a structural profile creates the perfect blend or rigidity and vibration absorption.
Mass Damper
Tungsten weights suspended around the threaded rod eat up excess vibrations and dampen recoil.
Adjustable Weights
Included with every INDX stabilizer is (2) 1oz tungsten weights, (1) 3oz suspension tungsten weight, and (1) 1oz suspension tungsten weight. Threaded weights utilize a 5/16"-24 thread.
Indexable
The INDX stabilizer can be oriented every 13 degrees thanks to a robust and easy-to-use adjustment system built into the end cap.

Product Details
Features
- The INDX series stabilizer breaks the mold and redefines the stabilizer market with unparalleled adjustability, superior dampening, and unmatched innovation.
- The INDX is available in two models, the INDX (.625” carbon) and the INDX Lite (.500” carbon). The INDX is designed for archers who prioritize rigidity and strength whereas the INDX Lite is intended for weight conscious archers who want superior dampening and a featherlight setup.
- Shrewd's proprietary Beam Carbon utilizes standard modulus carbon fibers, which offers superior vibration dampening compared to high modulus carbon. The carbon is configured in a structural profile with continuous fibers arranged longitudinal for maximum strength and performance. Typically, standard modulus carbon would not be as rigid as a higher modulus carbon but with the unique structural shape and fiber orientation the Beam Carbon outperforms other stabilizers built with high modulus carbon.
- An easy-to-use positioning system enables the user to set the rotational orientation of the INDX. The INDX can be oriented in a rigid or dynamic orientation. The rigid orientation prioritizes strength and rigidity while minimizing feedback and the dynamic orientation offers better dampening and increased feedback to the shooter.
- The mounting stud on the bow end of the stabilizer is machined with teeth that mechanically interlock with a custom lock screw and ensure a tight connection that can't slip, back out, or come loose. When not mounted on a bow, it is normal for the mounting stud to rattle but once the stabilizer is installed this goes away.
- Mass Damper System (MDS) mounts on the end of the stabilizer and absorbs excess vibration. The MDS features tungsten weights suspended around the threaded rod by elastomeric suspension dampers and held in place with a threaded suspension damper. Every INDX comes standard with (1) 1oz tungsten suspension weight, (1) 3oz tungsten suspension weight, (2) suspension dampers, and (1) threaded suspension damper.
- Redundancy built in. Every INDX comes with a spare locking screw discreetly mounted within the mounting stud of the stabilizer so you always have a spare on hand.
- Stabilizer length is measured from end cap to end cap and does not include stabilizer weights. Included weight stack adds 3" to overall stabilizer length.
- Included with every INDX stabilizer:
- Mass Damper System
- (1) 1oz suspension tungsten weight
- (1) 3oz suspension tungsten weight
- (1) Threaded suspension damper
- (2) Suspension damper rings
- (1) 5/16”-24 x 3” threaded rod

MAKE IT YOURS
The Beam Carbon and index bolt set the INDX apart from anything else on the market. The structural profile of the Beam Carbon creates a spine and the index bolt enables the user to take full advantage of it to change the orientation of the stabilizer and therefore the feeling of it. We laid the groundwork for two, tried and true settings but there's shades of grey between these black and white settings that may just be the real sweet spot on your bow.
Rigid Setting
Aligning the grooves on either side of the stabilizer sets the INDX in the rigid orientation and provides maximum stiffness.
Dynamic Setting
Setting the orientation of the INDX with the grooves on the top and bottom creates a softer feeling stabilizer with better vibration dampening.
Simple to use. simply works.
Adjusting the INDX is made quick and easy with laser engraved indicator lines and scales on the outside diameter and end of the bow end cap. Mechanically interfering parts lock the position in place eliminating the possibility of things slipping or coming loose.
PEACE OF MIND COMES STANDARD
Redundancy built in
A spare locking screw is nested inside the mounting stud so you always have a spare on hand.
INDX FAQs

Is it difficult to set up the INDX stabilizer?
The INDX system is designed to be intuitive and user friendly. After following the instructions above for your initial setup you will find it easy to adjust the bars to any bow or position.
Will I need to adjust the position frequently?
Once you set your INDX and are happy with the orientation you will not need to adjust it every time you take it on or off your bow.
If you change mounting locations you will most likely have to go through the setup process again. Fortunately it's quick and easy to do so!
What setting should I use?
No two bows are the same so we recommend trying both rigid and dynamic and see which works best for you. Rigid will typically be best for those running 8 or more ounces out front or for anyone who wants a more rigid feel. Dynamic will soak up more vibration but with increased movement and a softer feel.
Can I use any weights with the INDX?
The INDX system uses 5/16"-24 threads and will accept any weights with the same thread size.
Every INDX comes standard with (2) 1oz threaded tungsten weights and a 3" threaded rod in addition to the Mass Damper.
Is it normal for the INDX to rattle when it's not on my bow?
Yes, a rattle from the mounting stud is normal when the stabilizer isn't mounted but this will go away as soon as you thread it into the bow. The rattle comes from the free-floating nature of the index bolt system.
Do I need to worry about the adjustment bolt coming loose?
We have gone to every effort to make a bullet proof system that mechanically locks in place and creates an interference fit. The locking screw fits between teeth of the mounting stud to prevent and movement and once the stabilizer is threaded onto a bow it isn't possible for the locking screw to back out.
What if I lose my locking screw?
Every INDX stabilizer has a spare locking screw stashed away in the mounting stud of the stabilizer just in case. Two is one and one is none.
