Q: Can you make a Mini Euro / Shoulder Mount from antlers / horns that are not currently attached to an animal?
A: Absolutely, we love custom requests! Did you find some sheds and think it would be cool to put them on a shoulder mount? We can do that. We can even make miniature mounts from anything you can get to stand still long enough to take a video of. Just send us a video, and we’ll take care of the rest!
Q: Euro Mount into a Shoulder Mount or a Shoulder Mount into a Euro Mount?
A: We can transform shoulder mounts into euro mounts, euro mounts into shoulder mounts, sheds into either mounts and more. We’re all about flexibility and creativity—if you can imagine it, we can probably make it happen for you.
Q: What sizes do Mini Mounts come in?
A: Mini Euro Mounts
* Small: ~ 4 inches
* Large: ~ 6 inches
Mini Shoulder Mounts
* Small: ~ 5 inches
* Large: ~ 7 inches
Q: What is the best way to go about filming my trophy so I can submit a video to have a miniature mount made?
A: To get the best results, follow these steps when filming:
1. Use a flat surface – A coffee table or chair works well. Keep the background simple.
2. Keep it still – Don’t move the mount once you start filming.
3. Film all angles – Slowly walk around it, capturing the front, sides, back, between tines/spikes, nasal cavity, and chin. If there is a crevice you think isn’t important, pretend like it is and video as close to it as you can.
4. Film for at least 3 - 4 minutes – More detail helps us make it perfect.
5. Lighting matters – Use natural light or a brightly lit room. Even taking a chair outside in the middle of the day can work well. A smartphone camera is all that is needed!
If all else fails, take a look at our video tutorial posted on our website or send us an email. We are always willing to help you out.
