A stabilizer for a compound archery bow comprising a rigid paddle-shaped member conforming to the archer's forearm, said member being secured to the bow by means of a forward-extending support beam which is attached to the bow handgrip by the insertion and tightening of a forward-extending threaded stabilizer means. The paddle-shaped member is adjustable relative to the support beam and to the bow handgrip by pinch-clamp means.

1 . In an archery bow having having a handgrip, a forward-extending stabilizer, and threaded means for attaching said stabilizer to said handgrip, the improvement comprising a paddle-shaped forearm rest conforming to an archer's bow-holding forearm, a support beam holding the forearm rest, and attachment means engageable with said threaded means for securing said support beam and forearm rest to said bow handgrip as a unit with said stabilizer. 
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1  in which said forearm rest extends upward from said support beam to contact and partially wrap around an archer's forearm when said bow is held by said archer in a drawn position. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 1  having a first pinch-clamp means for adjustably engaging and securing said forearm rest to said support beam, and second pinch-clamp means for adjustably engaging and securing said support beam to said handgrip. 
     
     
         4 . In combination with an archery bow having a handgrip and a forward-facing threaded socket for attaching a screw-in forward-extending stabilizer mass, the improvement comprising a paddle-shaped forearm rest conforming to the shape of an archer's forearm, a support beam connecting said forearm rest with said handgrip, and attachment means for affixing said support beam to said handgrip upon the attachment of said stabilizer mass. 
     
     
         5 . The improvement of  claim 4  including first pinch-clamp means for adjustably engaging and securing said forearm rest to said support beam, and second pinch-clamp means for adjustably engaging and securing said support beam to said attachment means for affixing said support beam to said handgrip upon the attachment of said stabilizer mass.
