RE: STS Offset mount??
Well, it seems I have to go a route I did not want to go, but............
As far as not having room for an offset mount, there is plenty of room. On the drury tape i did not just see a rubber silencer on the cable guard, they had exactly what I was looking for, in fact, that's when I started my search rather than just going with the front mount. But, like I said, I must go another route. After contemplating a WB, i have decided to go the route of a Muzzy Zero Effect, so.....................I need to modify my caable guard from a lower cable guard to an upper cable guard. They (after talking to Mark@ Muzzy.com) make an adapter plate that screws into the riser where the sight and quiver goes. That would allow me use the bottom hole for the STS, so I guess it's all good. I may still make the offset mount and try it out, just to see it in action. I'll let you know how it turns out. BTW I own a machine shop, so I would not be scabbing together some garbage to make this.

Well, it's taken some looking, but I did find a supplier for what I was looking for. I will also see about making something similar, but I need to check on patent infrigments and such. Here is where I found them. They actually havea couple different models to choose from.

Take a look and see if they might not work for you too.

RE: STS Offset mount??
I remember seeing these when i was looking for something back in the summer, I forget where i heard this but i heard they werent the best, and everyone recommended the STS to me... So I went w/ that, actually it was this brand that turned me onto the idea... Let me know how it works, im interested.
