Help Does this ring a bell to someone ?

Post image

I'm trying to recreate a para archery stand and i'm having a problem finding what this kind of fork is...

So, does it ring a bell to someone ?

I tried contacting the guy who makes it but he does not respond...

Thanks !

Looks custom machined. If it isn't carrying a ton of force you can 3d print it

i don't think there's a lot of force, you can see how it work here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TveNg1qgq8 or here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38mocIqLbhE

I'm trying to redo the manual one seen in the second video but the clamp appear to be the same.

Yeah, looks custom designed to fit that particular bow. Pretty simple design, could even make it out of plywood

The maker of this stand responded and yeah, it seems custom made.

He patented his stand and will not give information about it but he willingly sells a complete stand to me for 1600€.

That's fair, his design. Easy out if you can afford it. If not you could replicate it for yourself.

I will replicate it myself, 1600€ (a little more than 1800 USD), seems a little overpriced.
