Hunters specialties has a nice little plaque for $18, it comes with a plate and screw to mount the fan. I put 2 part 5 minute epoxy on the quills. This helps keep the fan together and gives you a good solid place to put the screw. This plaque has a spot for the beard, use hot glue to attach it, this glue will also work to attach the beard to your shotgun shell. Hope this helps.
