:D here are some photos of how the screw weight goes into the front insert!, locktite it in place but make sure you can still screw in the point in from the other end of the insert. Check with gold tip you should be able to order them from any dealer. as for the x-bow racks I guess I would make them up for about $65.00 + shiping GREYWOLF

I like your designs, may I ask what you use to hold the xbow rack with. In the wall I mean. I just bought an excalibur xbow holder, (that sits on the ground) and Love it but I'm trying to figure out how to attach a quiver or some kind of bolt holder so it's an all in one package when I go shoot.
Just wanted to compliment you on the nice craftsmanship.

:D Thanks Whyitsmike, I use heavy picture hangers 40# rated. They just screw into the back and hang onto the nails in the wall GREYWOLF

Greywolf,

Would you please be kind enough to post the dimensions of your crossbow rack. That is one "tight" design, for sure ... I like it a lot!

How tall, how wide and how did you design the bolt holders? I could probably mimic the the back board, but please tell us how you went about constructing the bolt holders.

Very well done! Thanks.

Thanks Greywolf for the dimensions.

One last thing, how far in inches or centimeters did you space your arrow holes?

Many thanks!
