No criticism here Dave, I totally get where your coming from. But there is definitely a pretty solid safety concern from having your feet inside there. If something were to go wrong the would be nothing separating you from the carnage.papabear1 wrote: ↑Tue Nov 22, 2022 9:22 amBut a serious question

What about entertaining the idea of shortening the rail, or swapping it for a slower model so you can keep the bow but also have it more manageable. This has Danny Miller written all over it.
The DrStirrup may be your huckleberry. You'll be able to stand the bow on it's nose and it puts the bow further away from you making it slightly easier to cock.papabear1 wrote: ↑Tue Nov 22, 2022 10:11 amThanks Janesy for your replyjanesy wrote: ↑Tue Nov 22, 2022 9:53 amNo criticism here Dave, I totally get where your coming from.

there is no one around here to trade with so i'm looking for other ways,
the problem i have is i have big feetand i can only put my toes in the sturrup
, by the time put warm shoe,s on they don't fit in the stirrup
and when i pull the cocking rope my foot wants to slip out of the stirrup,
so i was wondering if i could get better footage with both feet, i'm not too concerned about my feet slipping
off the limbs, my concern is will it damage the limbs, I did it without pulling on the rope and boy it felt good
it also shortens tha draw length whitch makes it easy for me.![]()

Remove the stirrup bolts and the forward riser bolt. Install the stirrup using supplied bolts at front where the stirrup was bolted and the forward riser bolt. It is more simple than it looks.papabear1 wrote: ↑Tue Nov 22, 2022 3:58 pmBoo, i have the Equinox and i don't see how it attatches to the rail.Boo wrote: ↑Tue Nov 22, 2022 12:36 pmThe DrStirrup may be your huckleberry.
