Excalibur Quiver Mount Blues
Moderator: Excalibur Marketing Dude
I bought a groundpounder mount and like it better than the stock mount. I didn't like the idea of the crossbow seeming so tall. I went to the Wyvern Creations mount and love it. Its all metal and works fine with the STS since it doesn't use those mounting holes at all. I have it mounted with the standard Excal quiver. It stands up less than an inch above the rail.
Here is the photo from their web site.
If you cock/uncock by hand, then it probably isnt for you. I have an Exomax so hand cocking is beyond me.

I have both the GroundPounder and the MunchMount. You can't go wrong with either.
I really like that both of their mounts don't interfere with aiming, but help break up the shape of you face when viewed from "downrange". A bit of extra camo, so to speak.

Don't worry I feel the same way as you do.

I have made a home made ground pounder mount and am very happy with it so far.

Quiver mount
Here is the Isis mark 1 quiver. Had this on for a couple of years now after losing a couple of arrows from the standard quiver while walking through the bush.
I have one of these either side. Never had a problem with it. Touch wood.

Quiver Mount
Very interesting topic. Thanks Grizz .
I too, only use the xcal quiver for carrying in and out. I remove it as soon as I get into place. I tried a side mount as available on the spotnstalk pack. I do not like that placement either. I have not been impressed with any of the hip quiver set ups that I have seen. I have become complacent in accepting the fact that it is what it is. The excal quiver on the xbow may not be the best best but it does make things somewhat simple in that it limits the number of things to fuss with.
I am certainly interested in any ideas that may come up and look forward to the additional ideas of inventors' minds at work
Thanks again Grizz.

I also struggled with the stock quiver bracket. I went with the Wyvern Creations quiver bracket. So far, so good. Best solution with STS. I take the quiver off as soon as I am in my stand anyway, but the Wyvern is definitely easier to carry in and out of the woods.

So many choices out there, ain't it great? Y'all ever seen a vid of Bill T carrying his xbow hunting? He carries it over his shoulder w/ limbs to the front perpendicular to the ground.
That way, the limb width is immaterial as it's vertical. So are all the quiver mounts available from factory on.
I like bench resting/testing various ideas for arrows, so I'm not a factory mount fan. For that type shooting, it's a pita. My usage is an exception to the rule, hunting bows for hunters.
I got my Miller quiver mount before the other after markets were available.
I like it a lot. YMMV.

I just put a Ground Pounder on my Exomax today. I love it, works perfect for me. Shot a few shots with it on, no problems.

I am some-what mount less. I use a bushnell videoscope so the groundpounder mount is out, and I also have gun grips mounted to the atv, so factory brackets are out. I attatched the plastic quiver bracket to the side of the stock on the equinox so I can put the bow in the gun grips during transport. With a sling it is also out of the way. but the quiver hood sits above the string so a shot fired with my quiver still on would be disasterous! If it were a 3 arrow quiver it would work well. I still remove the whole thing once I reach my stand though. I hate un-needed weight.
