Horton Knee Pod

This thing WORKS. Light, steady, helps me shoot much tighter groups than offhand.

I like that idea.
Are there bolt on's for crossbows?

It is not designed to be bolted to the crossbow, it is an aid to shooting free hand.

Yes, I understand that.
I am referring to a different attachment....like the bi-pods that go on target/sniper rifles.

Monopod for crossbows, attaches to front swivel stud. Works but cumbersome, not as steady as knee pod, IMO. (Have used both).

Stoney Point also puts out a series of shooting sticks that have a quick disconnect adapter that mounts to the sling stud. I have read good reviews over on the Excal forum and I see one in my future. I usually use a regular monopod but the crossbow has a tendency to slide in the yoke of the shooting stick.

You mean like this I'm a firm believer in using a solid rest regardless of the shot distance.

Definitely cool but problematic in a metal mesh tree of ladder stand.

I'm going to experiment using a small narrow board clamped to the climber bar of my stand using small c-clamps. I can rest the feet of the bipod on the board. That bipod does not extend long enough to touch the ground when seated upright in a chair.

Does the part attached to the bow swivel? If not suing a board may restrict lateral function.
I've used several pods that I made or purchased, all restricted movement, were not quickly adjustable or were less portable than I had hoped. Why I reported on Horton's pod favorably.
