PP, I have a crossbow rack I use on my Yamaha Grizzle, which I got from someone on another forum several years ago. I have pictures of the rack, and with it mounted on my Grizzle. I'm not sure I can come up with the instructions though. I can post some of the pictures if this might help you.

Another pic from a looking down angle would help..............jk. Add some foam pipe wrap around those cutouts and your in business for a bumpy ride.

How about three or four of those grips made for ATV's? I've got two of them mounted for by comp bow. One for each limb and one or two on the stock might work?

I use the same ones. I like their ratcheting action to secure items rathers that rubber straps.

I have made one that holds 2 crossbows on the back of my Polaris rock solid!!! I have tried to market it with Kolpin and they were actually interested for a while but that is still pending. I have actually even tried geting the marketing dude here to look at it since it was specifically designed for excalibur crossbows but will work with any.
Now here is my question....how many of you guys would actually pay for something like this???? It goes on and of in seconds,holds two crossbows or guns or ice auger or fishing rods or whatever. It keeps the crossbows totally out of the way and keeps your racks free!! Sound good!!!??? Let me know. I won't post the pics as you all may understand but any help here would be GREATLY appreciated. TY SH.

P.S. I have used this rack for 3 years now in very thick bush with absolutely no harm to my bows or whatever I put on it. The kolpin and other grips are great..I have them...but do not hold a crossbow very securly and tend to break in freezing temps which has happened 2 me while ice fishing resulting in some minor damage to my quad. I would not trust them holding my X-bow. Even though the boys at Kolpin are great guys and compensated for my damage. Second pair I recieved did the same thing!!

I use the same as ehntr and Huntman

They do work flawlessly!

This is the best I can do for pictures from above. there is padding in each of the notches in the form of a 2 inch plastic tub I cut open and stapled in place.

Looks great Moxie , except for one thing . An excalibur has wider limb length . Interfer's with steering. I use the Kolpins but have to mount them catiwumpus , lol . (angled)
