A T.F.C or Torque Flight Compensator is an item that is fitted between a stabiliser (normally a side rod on a v-bar or top rod) that contains an adjustable rubber damper which affords the entire rod a little "springy" movement while still attached to the bow.

This T.F.C. absorbs any vibration and shock generated in the rod during the point of release.

T.F.C's have generally been superseded by "doinkers" and other types of dampening devices and some of the high end stabilisers (Beiter etc) are now so effective that archers don't fit T.F.C's with them.

Its a matter of choice really whether to fit them or not but I still use them and would recommend that you at least try them before discounting them, particularly when attaching side rods to a v-bar or as a top rod.

Hope this helps.
