Foot locators
Our foot locators (v2.1) are ambidextrous and fit virtually all archers regardless of height or draw lengths. We have “short/junior” and “extra long” versions available if required. All foot locators are available as a “Standard” or a “Bespoke” set. They fold up without removing any bolts although removing and then re-using the bolt from the “T” part allows an even more compact form for transport/storage.
These foot locators are supplied in a storage bag.
Note that once in the bag the foot locators are in an even more compact form as shown in the images above.
These foot locators are available in two finishes:
Primer only
This is a single coat of an outdoor primer allowing the user to add a top coat of their choice. Paints intended for outdoor use are recommended.
Fully painted
Fully painted with a yellow outdoor paint. Please note that this option will take longer as the foot locators will be painted to order.
Standard Foot locators
Primer only £45
Painted yellow £50
Standard version of the ambidextrous foot Locators which are usually in stock. These have holes suitable for the legs of the standard BBS Archery modified tripod. The foot pieces are at a 70 degree angle (outside of foot) which has been shown to be the most popular angle. In addition, “short/junior” and “extra long” versions are available to order. These foot locators are supplied in a storage bag (also available separately).
Bespoke Foot locators
Primer only £45
Painted yellow £50
Bespoke version of the ambidextrous foot Locators which are made to order and therefore it will take longer for us to supply them. They have tripod holes sized for your tripod (within reason) and foot-pieces at your specified angles (outside of foot). In addition, “short/junior” and “extra long” versions are available to order. Note that the foot-pieces are on the outside edge of the archer’s footwear and therefore this is not the angle of the inside of the archer’s foot. Please contact us to discuss this if interested. Tripod hole size and/or foot-piece angle must be specified with the order for the bespoke version. These foot locators are supplied in a storage bag (also available separately).
Foot locator Accessories
The following accessories are available for use with the BBS Archery Ambidextrous Foot locators.
Mat and Mat Bolt Kit – £13.00
To allow the use on hard surfaces (those unsuitable for tent pegs) the BBS Archery Ambidextrous Foot locators have been designed to be attached to a mat. The mat can then be taped in place along its edge (it is strongly recommended that parcel tape is used as it does not leave a residue) or heavy weights placed on the mat to hold it in place.
The mat kit contains a suitable mat (80cm by 50cm barrier mat) plus the required nuts, bolts and washers and spares. The user will be required to make holes in the mat but instructions are available.
Please note that the colour of the supplied mat may not match the one shown in the photo.
Mat Bolt Kit Only – £3
Just the required nuts, bolts and washers from the mat kit (no mat but including a spare set of nut, bolt and washers).
Tent Peg set for Ambidextrous Foot locators – £6
A set of eight tent pegs (seven plus one spare) for foot locators. These are “hard ground” pegs which are selected to fit the holes provided in the Ambidextrous foot locators.
Storage Bag for Ambidextrous Foot locators – £7
A bag that takes the Ambidextrous foot locators. These are available as spares as the Ambidextrous foot locators are supplied in one of these bags.
The large bolt holding the two parts together needs to be removed and the foot pieces slipped out of foot part but it does all fit neatly in the bag.
Foot locator Design CDs
We offer the plans of two subtly different designs for making your own foot locators.
Design CD issue v1.5
£6
This contains the plans for the previous foot locators design that we sold. It has the advantage that it does not require drilling a hole through the small sides of two pieces of wood so that they perfectly line up.
This design is made either left or right handed. It does not have the bolt of the ambidextrous design holding the two parts together so it needs the “T” part to interlock with the foot part to help alignment of the two parts.
A separate webbing strap is available for holding the two parts of the foot locators together.
The CD also contains various “How To Guides” from the time the CD was created.
Design issue v2.1 (Ambidextrous Design)
£6
This is the “new implementation for 2017” design of the Foot locators that we are now selling ready made (see Foot locators above) which is not only ambidextrous, but also suits a wider range of draw lengths compared to the previous design.
This design requires drilling a hole through the small sides of two pieces of wood so that the two holes perfectly line up.
Webbing strap for design issue 1.5 – £2.50
A webbing strap for holding the two parts of the design v1.5 foot locators together.
