Excalibur Bigfoot Stirrup

[oldmanhunter]

Just a heads up. Bought a Bigfoot Stirrup today for my 380 Mad Max. I have Dissipator Bars on the bow and the stirrup will not seat properly. It hits the edges of the dissipator bars. Needs a shim and longer bolts, otherwise, fits my winter pack boots perfect. Oldmanhunter.

Funny, I would not have expected that.

You might want to file the base of the stirrup so that it points down a bit. It doesn't take much filing so go slow. Keep the file on the bench and move the stirrup and file the whole base at the same time.
I've done it when I want clearance for a big broadhead. There was a short period of time when Excalibur machined their stirrups to have a slight downwards attitude.

Great idea!

Wish I read this post before I opened the package. Same deal with my Matrix 350se - the Bigfoot Stirrup contacts the air brakes and cannot be installed. The picture on the package is a bow complete with air brakes so I'm a bit puzzled.

I'd need a to file it at a significant angle to clear the air brakes or shim it out at least a quarter inch to make it work.

I hope i can return it but am bummed out because I was really looking forward to getting more boot into the stirrup this year!

Jackalope....give Gaston a holler at DrStrirrup....a wonderful pwerson to deal with....might have a workaround solution or provide you with the necessary parts to make it work....just saying....the DrStirrup setup is just too good to pass up!

Thanks Anthony would do but the stirrup I purchased is the new one made by Excalibur. I've never seen a Dr. Stirrup set up in real life but am interested. How are they when the bow is on your shoulder? Are they handy in a treestand?
