New style quiver mount

I wondered if it would come to making more. I have a machinist background and have made production parts before. Just never something of my own to try and market. As far as cost, I started this as a fun thing to do, not to really profit from it. But if people are interested in one I could make a few and see how it goes. Cost would probably be comparable to Dan Miller mount.

I'm not a big fan of the factory quiver mount, mostly its positioning. This looks GREAT. I would certainly like to get my hands on one of those! Tired of it not resting well on the shooting rail of my stand and having bolts fall out of it. It's also a big reason I don't have my sling on it.

I can't tell from the pictures, but is the riser centered off the rail? It looks as though it is slightly to the left.

You really should get a patent on this, you've got a great idea, and a good market to draw from.

Keep us in the loop!!! Excellent work!!

Any chance of making those two "uprights" a little thinner?

Thanks for the responses. It appears from the posts there may be a market for it after all. Am looking at costs now on trying to produce. Prices of alluminum(OUCH!). Looks like I can make between 25-30 assemblies with purchasing least amount of material possible to start out. Cost of waterjet cutting is just way too expensive! Still not exactly sure of a price, but its looking to be in the range of $15-$20. All alluminum and alot more involved to make than the factory mount. Also looked at the U.S. patent home page(WOW!) Looks like a lot involved there but still looking into it. It is hunting season now and looking to be in the woods every chance I can get. Thanks again for the comments and I will keep you informed on when these may be available.

Looking at uprights to be thinner. First one was made with what material I could find. It was 1'' hex stock turned down in the middle to lighten up. New ones will be 3/4'' round stock. Flat plate is also 1/4'' plate and am not sure if I want to go thinner with it or not(maybe3/16''). I tend to over engineer things because I don't like things bending or breaking.To an earlier question, everything is centered to the xbow it just looked offset by the picture.

Add me to the interested list as long as the uprights are thinner.

Maybe you could call it the"Streamline Quiver Mount"

Question for you.....Looking at the picture it appears that the bottom of the quiver sticks out in front of the stirrop. If so can it be moved back on the bracket?

I'll send you the money right now if that will help you get started. I have need of 2 cause I know the better half wants one also.
