Installing Quiver Inserts?

[BD]

How difficult is it to install quiver inserts? I'm looking at buying a used palmer and it does not have quiver inserts and all of my other bows do. Would I be foolish to try this myself having never done it before and not being very "handy"? Does anyone know if I should order the 10x24 or 1/4x20 inserts for a standard kwikee-type quiver?

All replies appreciated!

Thank you

Three rivers got just what you need.

Thanks Jonesy- I see the inserts in the catalog, i'm just wondering how difficult they are to install (or how easy it is to screw them up) and what size to order?

It's just a matter of carefully drilling a straight hole, tapping it out, and gluing it in...same as doing a limb bolt, or doing tap and die work on aluminum....go slow...take yer time...and everything will come out fine!

I've put a bunch of 1/4x20 inserts in risers.  Pretty easy to do.  Have a piece of scrap wood to test the hole size, cut and depth.  I always use a drill press so I have a steady surface and get a clean hole.  The ones from 3R just tap in flush, no glue necessary. dino

Make sure you put clear tape over where your going
to drill. It will help keep it from splintering
when you back out the drill bit.

Tape your riser to help stop splintering.  Mark the depth on your drill bit with masking tape to keep a uniform depth.  Take it easy and drill a straight hole.  Shouldn't be too hard.

get the 10-24 ones for a Quikee Quiver bracket..

the 1/4 x 20 ones are for the Fred Bear quivers...

Easy.  Use a forstner bit, they cut clean holes.  Worth the money.
Then just tap in the insert with a wood mallet or hammer handle.

If you want standard sight bushing spacing for a kwikee type quiver/sight or similar (I wanted to mount an AMS retriever) use an old sight bracket to as a jig to get the spacing just right.  The first time I did it I measured carefully but was off by just a bit.

I did my chekmate and used the black widow inserts that screwed in.  Put tape on riser. I also put tape on the bit to get proper depth so as not to over drill.  Tapped hole. Used epoxy and screwed inserts in and let dry.  Fairly simple.  I'm not a wood worker by any stretch and it came out as good as the factory.
