My son just got a Bowtech carbon overdrive and we can't find a quiver that mounts to the riser.He doesn't want a site mount .The bow has little holes for a quiver but they don't go through the riser.Kinda funky. Thanks guys

I expect those little blind holes are either ejection pin holes or fixturing holes.  So not two piece quiver holes.  I assume Bowtech did not want guys crushing the fiber by over tightening a two piece quiver so they didn't engineer it for one.  If you notice on the Hoyt carbon riser they installed a bushing to avoid that issue.  And since only about 2-3% of bowhunters use a two piece quiver I guess you can not blame them.

With that light of a bow putting a Mongo Gorilla of a quiver like Tight Spot or similar is going to feel dang awkward. I have been growing increasingly annoyed with bow manufactures for abandoning the western hunter and eliminating the proper two piece quiver mount.  It's one of the reasons I have not used the fabulous Bear Anarchy and Martin Alien more for hunting.  I've tried the Tight Spot and similar quivers and I despise them greatly!  However, I do not see a reasonable solution or mounting option for the Carbon Overdrive - Sorry >:(
He asked, Do you ever give a short simple answer?  I replied, "Nope."

What don't you like about Tight Spot quivers? In my eyes they're the best 1 piece on the market. Or do you just not like a 1 piece quiver?

I will agree with you that it is the best one piece quiver on the market today.  Great arrow grippers and it does get reasonably close to the bow!   And I really like the guys at Montana Black Gold.  But compared to a quality two piece quiver the thing is a monstrositous anchor!  I'd rather use a cumbersome side quiver or eliminate bows that require it than build a kick stand for it.

I really did try to give it some honest field work.  But after a couple weeks I ripped the monster off and gave it away.
