... on my Ben Pearson Sovereign Lord Mercury. Why is that?

It probably changes which direction that the bow may rotate in the hand. Or it should be that it stops any rotation which would be different than shooting without the stabilizer.

I don't ask why. I just know it happens, and then plan accordingly.
For example, the 12" stabilizer I used for NFAA indoor rounds a few years ago was worth something like 50 grains of point weight.

It slows rotation of the bow thus the sight window doesn't hit and effect your arrow.

Any weight added to a bow's riser will have that occurrence. Same thing happens when you put a bow quiver on a well tuned bow. Arrows start to shoot "stiff". It's just that the added weight means the bow moves less as the arrow goes thru paradox, thus the arrow will shoot more to the left for a right hand shooter and vice versa for a lefty. Just the laws of physics at work.

However it doesn't stiffen the arrow, yes it effects arrow flight, but does nothing to the arrow. Bob

I'm not sure if it's a mass issue or a rotation issue. IOW - is it the mass of the riser that resists movement, or is it the effect of the stabilizer resisting rotation?
Again, I don't really care because I just tune the bow as it is. But Jason (and now Bill C) say it's simply mass. I've only noticed a real difference with an extended stabilizer, so that would indicate it's a rotational resistance thing. But I haven't taken the time to test both, as I said, it doesn't really matter that much. I just know it's a "thing" and tune the rig as it's going to be shot.
What I do know is that my target barebow rig weighs 6.5 lbs. and needs an arrow one size stiffer than my Olympic rig (longrods and all) of the same weight.

Sometimes the why doesn't matter as much as the what. :)

Does adding a stabilizer reduce the speed (F/Sec) of the arrow?

"What I do know is that my target barebow rig weighs 6.5 lbs..."
Yikes!

Its where the weight is placed. Weight added out in front of the bow has more leverage thus stops the bow from torqueing/twisting more than just weight added at the bow.

It's at least partly just the mass. A bow quiver makes my bows want an arrow about 5 lbs weaker in spine, and a heavy brass takedown sleeve in the handle does about the same.
