The mainframe is already tapped with 10-24 and the AMO spacing for a quiver bracket .

What is AMO Spacing?

Archery Manufacterors Organization Spacing? I don't get it.

Thanks again.

What about the Axiom do you not like?

Also, do you know how the quicer attaches to the stock up front? If they quiver is not on there, is there a threaded hole that I can use to mount a stud for sling / bitpod / light, etc.

Thanks, PH80
g'day mate, just the frame it does nothing for me, in fact l think it looks very cheap something you'd expect out of china. also l'd say the quiver fits to the frame as the old ones do because l've seen nothing in new quiver mounting brackets for it l can have my quiver & bi-pod on at the same time. yes the harris LM model l use has a lug just like the stud fitted to your excalibur crossbow to fit your sling to..regards frank

The spacing inbetween the holes is a standard spacing . That way manufacturers of quivers can have their quiver fit on other bows .That is why it is 10-24 as well .

Cool. I appreciate it.

One of the videos on Excal's website goes over this fairly well.

So you have two holes for the quiver. you aslo have a stud up front in between the two bolts that hold the bow on the stock right? I'm assuming that is a stud for a sling.

Can I back it out use that threaded hole for something esle... light / bow fishing gear, etc?

JUST ABOUT to place the order. Before I do, I want to make sure that I can do everything that I want to with this bow. Getting very excited.

If someone is that unhappy with the clarity of an Axiom scope there are two likely scenarios. Either he didn't bother or know how to focus it (most likely, it's amazing how many people don't know that every scope has to be focused) and he didn't read the instructions or call us for help. The second scenario is that there actually is something wrong with the scope (unlikely) and it would be gladly be replaced by the dealer because of our lifetime warranty. The Axiom scope is actually a better scope than the VZ simply because without the variable adjuster to set the crosshair to match the speed it allows better light transmission. The crosshair is set perfectly for our stock arrow with a 150 grain head so no adjustment is required.

It isn't a big difference in light transmission, but the fact is that every bit of glass the light goes through before it hits your eye costs you brightness. Less glass equels more light!
