Giving Up on the Groundpounder Mount
Well, I tried to like it, I really did. I used it for two years and I think that is a very adequate test. I read how all you guys just raved about the mount so I thought maybe it was just me having the problems.
True, just like you guys said, it was a lot easier to sling the crossbow and walk. The quiver was no longer sticking me in the back. But guys, I have to tell ya, I probably lost fifty arrows these past two years walking in the woods. It got to the point I didn't need to put any in the quiver, I could just pick up a couple off the ground where ever I hunted.
And everyone said the mount did not allow the arrows or the quiver to interfere with the scope. Well mine sure did. Every time I put the scope on a buck I had to wade through orange vanes and use Kentucky windage to figure out where the heck the buck was.
And don't even get me started about trying to cock the darn thing. I never had a problem before just putting the cocking ring on the ground and slipping my boot in and presto, cocked crossbow. Well, cocking the thing these past two years just by holding the stock into my stomach has taken a toll. I have the hernia surgery on Friday morning.
Sorry groundpounder, I really wanted to like it.

That was funny! To only think of the preparation you put in to that photo before this post adds to the humor.
That was good for a laugh, thanks!
