Title: Tapping a bow for a quiver
Post by: sscoyote on October 22, 2010, 06:42:00 PM
Nice to be here...my 1st post. Didn't see anything like this in the "how To" section, so thought i'd ask it here. Got an old DH Bandito that i have to start shooting, and was wondering if it's just a simple matter of just running a drill in to maybe 1/2 (?) the width of the window  from the backside. Then tapping some epoxied inserts in, and done? Thks. in advance for any tips.

Are you talking about the inserts like for  Quickie type bow quiver?  I used the part that remains on the bow as a spacing guide and drilled and tapped and epoxied the insert in place.  Don't remember the bit and tap size. I put a bit of masking tape on the bottome of the threaded insert to keep any glue from getting on the threads.

Yes, that's it. Was just wondering if it weakens the bow any, and how deep u can go before disaster strikes.
