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 >:(

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.
