There is also plenty of room to get your boot in the styrup for cocking. Did not try to mislead anyone with bolts not falling out of quiver. I guess I do have the "new" style quiver with two mounting points for the bolt. I did not know about the "older" model quiver. A question for you-Does the older style quiver use the same quick release mounting block? The holes are 1-5/16'' apart on my mounting block. Again, all measurements I have done so far are with a Exocet 200 with the new style quiver that comes with the RightStuff Package.
same type of bracket, just has a jam slide on it instead of the friction fit of the nut...otherwise, everything with the bracket is the same...it would mount the same as the new style...problem with the old quiver is that yes the bolts did fall out...with the money saved from the fallen bolts and the old quiver, it would be worth putting it towards a new one...just my opinion of course...
I would also be interested in 1 or 2. Looks like the new quiver is worth buying as well (until now I hadn't been able to figure out what the changes were with the new quiver). I'm forever losing bolts out of the one I have. In fact, my hunting partner this weekend lost a bolt.
Now that I look more closely to your quiver in the picture groundpounder, I can see that it has TWO mounting brackets, instead of ONE, like mine. This will make the arrows stay in better.
Looks like you can quit your day job, groundpounder. As long as I can get mine by next hunting season, I'll be happy. Congratulations.
Nice mount.
I found that with the regular mount the xbow is unstable while sitting in your lap in the treestand,this would fix that problem.
Nice job
Put me down for one

I've got a nice new picture to advertise with if need be. As far as production have an appointment on getting flat plate lazer cut out this Friday. Also stopped by Machine shop I used to work at to get quotes on upright pieces. I could make everything on my own but also have a real job and everything else(hunting) eating up my time. The ball is definitely rolling now, maybe next week sometime I'll have some done. I know have the monkey off my back with tonights harvest and have some time to start making mounts.
I need to create something someday, then I can be rich.
My dads highschool buddy invented the Blackberry, now the guy is a millionaire. He had a party at his house and had Aerosmith play, and had Bare Naked Ladies open up. Cost him a million $ for Aerosmith.
Hello Groundpounder;
What a great invention, I have a friend here in Thomasville, GA, who like you did a mount for pistols, he quit his Police job and went full time and he's world wide now. When you go into production, I would like to purchace one from you.
