I watched the video a couple times and it sounds like he says it is a Tight Spot quiver. Looked it up and it seems like it has an adjustable attachment mechanism. A bit pricey.

If you're on the HC facebook page a guy DIY'd a mount bracket that looks great...i'll see if I can find it. I always hang my quiver on the tree, so it has never bothered me...
 
I’d also like to see a bigger stirrup. This may take more prototyping because it could potentially interfere with scope visual. But my boots barely fit the tip in there. No big deal on ground, sucks trying to cock it on a ring of steps in a tree. I’m sure I’m not alone here either.

I like the flat bar loop and the size of the loop on the Original MUCH better, I"m with ya.

Can't you just stick your foot out in the stirrup while sitting in your JX3 and pull back? I cocked my mini that way although without the JX3. Leg out.
Edit : If your toes barely fit maybe not a good idea. Smaller boots?
 
I might be interested in the mount extension. It depends on whether I DIY something in the meantime.

Not a good idea, period
 
so I finally have the red dot mounted with a HHA optimizer on the bow and it is shooting great again

one issue was the wisker biscuit rest was off center, so I had a hard time lining it up by eye, but now it is close to center shot

now I can dial to 25 out to 40 , used a blank tape and backed it off and marked the tape as I went.

shooting 21" accuspines with a 3 blade expandable, same as field points, should be a winner if the scope doesn't loosen up

may take some moldable epoxy on the rail to cement things up , have been successful with that on a few other crossbows

where rail fit up is not exact and needs shims to lock them down.
 
after this season I will definitely get a hold of a regular picatinny rail and drill it , so I can mount it on jerries riser mount
shouldn't be too bad of a job to get it done.
but for now it needs some saddle time and some targets
