Back bar mounts...Which one? TAP, Shrewd, CBE, BeeReel, etc

[OutdoorAg]

All the big companies, and many small ones, offer a side bar mount. Best I can tell, they all look like quality units. Is there a difference amongst the group? Others I should look at?

Things I want, (or think I want):

1) QD.
2) Quality screws. No bad threads!
3) Adjustability - horizontal and vertical angle.
4) Matte finish.

TAP is the only one without teeth to make micro adjustments, but theirs still offers unlimited adjustability. You just have to loosen threads to make a horizontal or vertical change. I would imagine that most guys find a back bar position and then never change.

Thoughts? Input? Just buy used and rock on?

Edit** bow is a Halon 32 **

I really like the Shrewd Atlas. It has a flat on it that can rest on the riser so it can't rotate once tightened down, I put a little tape on it so it won't mar the riser. It isn't notched on the angle adjustments, but it locks down extremely tight.

Using some of the beestinger mounts before they would sometimes rotate as they just had a star washer and bolt tension to hold them.


Of course, Mathews has stuck their name on the Atlas, selling it as one of their accessories now. However on the new V3X there's not enough of a flat at the lower bar mount to use the flat face feature....

@Billy Goat thanks for the input.

I should mention this is going on a Halon 32

Shrewd is pretty dang nice.

The shrewd atlas is the way to go. I have a few of em. Mathews has a branded version that probably cost more, but it’s the same thing. Best I have used for sure.

Dead Center make some great mounts as well. I set mine 2 years ago and it has not budged.

Shrewd quality is just hands done outstanding. The others are very functional, but not in the same league.

Get the Shrewd, you will not regret it. Ed

I have a bowfinger that I have been pleased with

I prefer the bow finger that clamps at the riser, I do not like the styles that require me to use the threads in my riser. The bowfinger has served me well and very solid.
