True, just like you guys said, it was a lot easier to sling the crossbow and walk. The quiver was no longer sticking me in the back. But guys, I have to tell ya, I probably lost fifty arrows these past two years walking in the woods. It got to the point I didn't need to put any in the quiver, I could just pick up a couple off the ground where ever I hunted.
And everyone said the mount did not allow the arrows or the quiver to interfere with the scope. Well mine sure did. Every time I put the scope on a buck I had to wade through orange vanes and use Kentucky windage to figure out where the heck the buck was.
And don't even get me started about trying to cock the darn thing. I never had a problem before just putting the cocking ring on the ground and slipping my boot in and presto, cocked crossbow. Well, cocking the thing these past two years just by holding the stock into my stomach has taken a toll. I have the hernia surgery on Friday morning.
Sorry groundpounder, I really wanted to like it.
Well, I turned the thing around like everyone told me to but I just don't see why everyone likes this mount. I can now see out of the scope ok and I have stopped losing arrows out of my quiver on a daily basis but I have to tell you, this thing is a pain in the ass. Every time I attempt any kind of a shot the stupid arrows are in the way. And you can just forget about carrying the phoenix on your shoulder with the sling, the mount prohibits that.
I tell ya I am at wits end with this thing. It has been three years now of trying to adapt to this quiver mount and I am throwing in the towel.
If anyone wants to buy this thing I will sell it cheap!
