[longarrow]

NO!!!

[James Wrenn]

Well if I wanted to use a certain quiver sure I would do it.As other says there are lots of quiver options out there but if my heart was set on useing that one I would drill the bow without a second thought.It is your bow so do what you want with it. jmo

Yes.... I have done it before and I'll do it again. If that's the Quiver you like and want to use, go for it. I have gotten away from bow quivers but still use a Kwikee Quiver on a couple, then take it off when I get set up. DRILL THAT BOW!!!!!!

[T Folts]

Sell the selway and buy a Kanati strap on quiver.
I just got one from the Kzoo show and love it.

Well evidently it IS possible to get away with it since 3 or 4 have said they did it to theirs.

You need to think about the type of wood the particular part of the riser you want to drill is made of, how much wood is there, how close to the fades you want to drill etc.  I bet you could get away with it but my concern would be long term.  

I had a Herters recurve that was drilled and tapped for an insert from the back side right at the throat of the grip.  Must have lasted a lot of years as it was an old bow but it broke completely in two there during shipping to me when I bought it.  I realize getting broke during shipping is different than being broken during use but still, the insert was very obviously the weak point and I have to wonder if the bow would have made it in one piece if it hadn't been drilled?  No matter how careful we are with our bows, hunting brings unexpected opportunities to damage our gear.  Ever fallen while carrying your bow?  Ever fall on it, drop it from the tree or have to throw it aside when you start to fall on a steep climb?  Just think of the possibilities.  Longbows are wicked tough.  Why weaken one?

Personally, I wouldn't do it unless you could find a smaller insert.

[SpikeMaster]

No.

[David Mitchell]

Noooooooooooooooo!

[straitera]

Never.

[TRAD101]

no

[KentuckyTJ]

Heck no!

[Zipperhead]

no

[cacciatore]

Never.Someone is been smart enough to design very dependable velcro limb quiver.

[joevan125]

I would never do it myself but i let the guys at Black Widow put KwiKee Kwiver inserts on my PSA X and then i had Art from Cedar Ridge Leather Works put a cool leather pattern on my quiver.

It doesnt effect the way the bow shoots and i love being able to pop the quiver off when im in my stand and lay it in my backpack.

I also love the Eagle Flights Quiver and they are pretty simple to remove if you want to remove it from the bow.

Im one of these guys that likes to hunt without my quiver on the bow so i may get the quiver inserts on my next purchase.

[reddogge]

I wouldn't drill any bow but go ahead with yours and paint it pink to boot.  It's your bow.
