3 oz Weight Stack for the Riddance Stabilizer

The Nock On 3 oz Weight Stack lets you add mass to your Riddance stabilizer in a single solid piece that matches the look of the weights your rod shipped with. It’s a three-ounce Cerakoted stainless steel weight built to fit the same AAE containment collar system that holds the stock one-ounce weights on every Riddance long rod and short rod.

Each Riddance comes stock with three one-ounce Cerakoted weights at the end of the bar. This three-ounce stack adds the same total mass in one solid piece, so you can run a heavier configuration without piling up four, five, or six individual ounce weights. Stack multiples to keep adding weight, or pair the stack with your stock weights to dial in your exact ounces.

John Dudley keeps weight close to the center of the bow rather than loaded out at the end of the rod. He’s found that piling weight on the tip forces archers to compress their shoulder or hitch their hips to hold steady, which breaks down technique even when the sight picture looks calm. This weight stack gives you a clean way to add mass without overbuilding the system.

Core Benefits of the Riddance Weight Stack

• Single-Piece Three-Ounce Mass: Add three ounces of weight in one solid piece instead of stacking three individual weights, keeping your weight configuration clean and easy to swap
• Matches Stock Riddance Weights: Same Cerakoted stainless steel finish as the one-ounce weights that ship with every Riddance rod, so the stack flows visually with the rest of the bar
• AAE Collar Lockdown: Locks into the same AAE containment collar system John Dudley calls a bulletproof lockdown on the Riddance line
• Works on Front and Back Bars: Use it on a Riddance long rod, short rod, or both to fine-tune your front-to-back weight ratio

Riddance Weight Stack Features

Solid Three-Ounce Cerakoted Construction

The weight is a single solid piece of stainless steel finished in the same Cerakote that John Dudley uses on the one-ounce weights packaged with every Riddance rod. The finish protects the steel from corrosion and gives the stack a clean look that matches the rest of the bar.

A solid three-ounce piece runs shorter on the rod than three stacked one-ounce weights, which keeps your overall length tighter when you’re adding mass without adding length.

AAE Containment Collar Lockdown

The weight stack uses the same AAE collar system that secures the stock weights on every Riddance rod. John Dudley calls this collar a bulletproof, rock-solid lockdown of any weight configuration you choose, regardless of how much mass you’re running.

You can add or remove the stack with an Allen wrench in seconds, so you’re not locked into a setup once you’ve installed it.

Center-Mass Weight Philosophy

John Dudley designed his stabilizer system around keeping weight close to the center of the bow rather than loaded out at the end of the rod. He warns against piling weight on the tip: when archers can’t hold it, they compress their shoulder or hitch their hips, and the technique breakdown costs more than the stability gain.

The three-ounce stack gives you a usable amount of mass without forcing you to commit to a heavily loaded tip if your form isn’t ready for it.

Stack to Customize

Run one three-ounce stack on your front rod for a hunting setup. Add another on your back bar to balance the system. Or stack multiple three-ounce pieces for a target setup that needs more mass on the end of the bar.

John Dudley’s approach is trial and error. Shoot a configuration, see what it does to your groups and your sight picture, then add or remove weight from there.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Riddance Weight Stack

How does this three-ounce stack work with the weights already on my Riddance?

Every Riddance long or short rod ships with three one-ounce Cerakoted weights stacked at the end. You can swap those three weights out for one solid three-ounce stack to keep your total mass the same in a cleaner package, or you can add the three-ounce stack on top of the stock weights for a six-ounce configuration.

Stack multiple three-ounce pieces if you want to run heavier than that.

Will this weight stack fit my Riddance long rod and short rod?

It fits both. The three-ounce stack uses the same AAE containment collar system that holds the stock one-ounce weights on every Riddance rod, so it works on the long rod and on either length of short rod, eight inch or 10 inch.

How do I install or remove the weight stack?

Loosen the AAE collar at the end of your Riddance rod with an Allen wrench, slide the weight on or off, and tighten the collar back down. The collar locks the stack in place with no slip, regardless of how much weight you’ve added.

How much weight should I run on my front and back bars?

No universal answer applies. A common starting point for hunters is a 1:3 front-to-back ratio, something like two ounces front and six ounces back. Target archers running long front rods often stack much more than that.

John Dudley recommends starting with the stock weight configuration on your Riddance and adjusting from there. Shoot a group, swap a stack in or out, shoot another group, and compare. The right answer is what tightens your groups without forcing you to compress your shoulder or hitch your hips to hold steady.

Can I run more than one weight stack on the same rod?

Stack as many three-ounce pieces as the AAE collar will hold. Most hunters won’t need more than one or two stacks, but target archers running long front rods sometimes load up 10 or more ounces on the tip.

John Dudley warns against overloading. If it takes significant strength to hold your bow arm out, the technique breakdown costs more than the stability gain.

Why pick a solid three-ounce piece instead of three one-ounce weights?

A solid three-ounce piece runs shorter on the rod than three stacked one-ounce weights, so your overall length stays tighter when you’re adding mass. The Cerakoted finish matches your stock weights, and a single piece is one less interface to torque down with the collar.
