Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Bowhunting I have a beautiful bow, so why

Hey gents.

Well, I'm a little embarressed to admit, but I didn't think twice about having the HHA and not being able to mount a quiver.

I have been busy the last couple of weeks, and finally got around to shopping for a quiver. I usually keep a quiver mounted to the bow until I get to where I'm going, then hang it on a tree, unless, of course, I'm tracking. After much research, I chose the Octane Deadlock Pro. I went to mount the thing this morning, and holy crap, because of the HHA arm, it's a no go. Now, aside from it being 100% my fault for not realizing this, I'm still pissed at HHA for at least not having a disclaimer that their sight will not accept a normal bow mounted quiver set up. I checked google for a solution, and altho there was some old posts, I couldn't find any pix.

I ultimately settled on mounting the quick release bracket on the QAD HDX. I had to reverse the mount, flip the bracket 180 deg, and enlarge the holes to accept the 5/16 x 24 x 1.25 bolts that I had to pickup at the hardware store - unfortunatley, they didn't have Allen screws. Here are a few pix. Thankfully, the Deadlock is pretty adjustable, and I'm happy with the result. I can't shoot the bow where I am, so I'll have to wait until tomorrow to test fire.

I'm glad I shoot traditional/long bow. It has a natural cure for that affliction....sort of. The latest and greatest craze isn't in it's nature but damn if you don't pick up some old soul hidden in the corner every once in awhile that needs a new home.

I know it says scope adapter brkt but thats a quiver mount for an HHA.
Your sight should have come with two spacers for attaching the quiver

Interesting, thanks. I wish I had that yesterday. I got the 2 spacers, but they were no where near long enough, not to mention that it would have put the arrows in the way of the lever. Rotating it 180 was the only way I could think of to keep it out of the way, and still have a semi - balanced bow - but then again, I could be missing something....

You probably don't own one gun to hunt with, why would you only own one bow?

Multiple bows are good. But Id keep em all the same brand. That way the feel of the grip remains constant. JMO but what do I know. I just tune em and the ol mech shooter never notices the difference between a HOYT , Matthews, Bowtech, PSE etc.

280, do you recommend I do something different than what I did to mount the Deadlock? The spacers were way to short, and I saw no other options available.

Ok, I tried the HHA a few times, and I'm not in love with it. beautiful piece of engineering, but not for me. Anyone interested in it, shoot me a PM.

Never cared for a slider on a hunting rig either. KISS. Fixed pins and a rangefinder trumps a single pin slider every time IMO.

Yup. I learned my lesson. This feels so much better.....

(By the way, for you single pin guys, a like new HHA OL-5519 for sale in classifieds)
