Have two Wing bows (both White Wings) with bushing for stabilizers and the threads are 5/16". Looking for a vintage stabilizer that is 12" or less for these bows.

Also looking for the same type stabilizer for my Bear Temujin and American Archery Company Cheetah Supreme. The stabilizer bushings on both of those bows act like 5/16" at the start but get slightly narrower so as not to accept a bolt of that diameter all the way down. No other near size seems to fit either. Guessing a custom drilling for the one product originally sold with the bow? In any case, looking for 12" or less stabilizer for those bows, too.

The threads are probaly 5/16 fine thread.

We started in the mid sixties using 1/4 BSW (Hoyt PMs etc) but stabilisers then got longer. The thread size was 5/16 BSW to start with if I remember correctly before there was a standard adopted which is used to this day, 5/16 x 24 UNF. I always carry the various thread taps with me just in case a crossed thread or damaged thread happens.

Yes, arrowchucker, thanks; the too-tight bushing is fine thread. So in the market for both 5/16" course threaded (x 18) and 5/16" fine threaded (X 24) vintage stabs, 12" or less, to fit two bows with those different bushings.
