Riser insert, how to put in?

I could use some help here. I got my riser inserts to put a quiver mount on my Grizzly. I followed the directions and drilled the holes for the inserts. Next it says to put a screw into the insert until the bottom flares open in the hole. I can not do this because the insert spins when I turn it and there is no place to hang onto it to stop it from spinning. Should I 2 ton epoxy it or is there a trick I am not getting with this?

Sounds like the drilled holes are too large. You may be able to take up the slop with 3 toothpicks 120º apart. Somehow you have to get the insert to not turn, and whether the screw can expand the legs enough is hard to judge from a distance. You may have to epoxy in a good solid wood plug and start fresh with a new drilled hole.

I used what the directions said and that was a 5/16" bit 3/8" deep. I understand what you are saying about the toothpicks. Do you think I could glue them in?

I have used 2 part epoxy on inserts with good luck. Put some Vasoline on your bolts and screw them in the insert to keep the glue out of the threads. Shouldn't have any problems.

Well I used 2 part epoxy and it worked out well. I have the quiver on now after letting the epoxy set up all night. Thanks for the help.

The insert should fit snug, so somehow your hole got too large. If it isn't too far off, try some plumbers tape around the insert to snug it up. If the hole is quite a bit larger than the insert I think the epoxy is another good option.
