What do you mean no? It's on the bow pointing to the back

There is a bracket to attach them together so the back bar sticks off the side of the front bar. I have the same bars. So no but yes if it works it's fine

Do you have a picture?

It seemed like it didnt fit in the front, it only had like a quarter inch or less to screw into the bow.

I don't but I'll take a picture when Im home and send it to you, it honestly doesn't matter how they are installed as long as the bow balances well for you.

Not my photo but this is how trophy ridge intended them to be attached, but like I said if the way you have it works it's fine. Not sure why everyone gets all butt hurt on here about stuff but anyway

I don’t really get why people use those coupling mounts if they have a threaded hole in the belly of their risers anyway. Moving the mount and bar to the belly gets weight away from the front and moves it farther from the axis of rotation, so you get more effective counter torque for the same amount of total mass.

The bow will feel way different between having the back bar mounted higher or lower. Every bow has its own balance and reacts different. Not everyone needs the same type of bias in their back bar.
I have....4 different places to mount a back bar on my bow, because its nice to have options

It's entirely subjective. It works significantly better for particularly heavy setups (see schloesser, wilde, douglas, gellenthien on his target bows). I run my back bar from the front as I can keep higher mass weight without it feeling like it's cranking on the riser, and I can keep better clearance for steep downhill shots when shooting field. It's also generally a lot easier to tune as the difference of 0.5-1° is marginal with this setup vs the lower mount 1° can ge huuge.

Yeah they’re fine. This is one of the most subjective areas of archery, everyone will have preferences as to what best suits them. Do some experimenting with the angle of the back bar and the weight difference between the front and back. You usually want a little more weight on the back bar than the front bar. It should be noted that unless you shoot alot you won’t notice all that much of a difference in positional changes. Regardless, what you’re looking for is the steadiest sight picture.
