Elite bow quiver

[2012_taco]

I have an Elite Hunter with the elite detachable quiver. The problem I have is I put on a truglo range rover adjustable 1 pin sight and now the quiver hits the lock bolt on the sight. Any ideas? can i get longer mounting bolts for the quiver to clear the sights? It doesn't look like I can mount the quiver on the sight because it has to be able to move to adjust the range. I flipped the mount to the bottom of the riser and it clears but it is mounted upside down. Looks and feels wrong, although it works. Any one experience this problem?

Yes, please post a picture so we can have a view of the problem.

I think you will need longer screws and spacers.  Call elite, I bet they have them.  Some quivers don't fit well with the adjustable single pin sights.

I've got an HHA dial sight and had clearance issues. Tight spot makes a bracket that goes between your sight and riser. It's like $19. Call up tightspot or find it on eBay.

I will post pics ASAP. sorry.

here are some pics, it looks like I should be able to get longer bolts for where the quiver mounts to the bracket on the bow and put in a longer spacer. The first pic is with the quiver mounted on the bottom of the riser. it works but doesn't feel right. second pic shows where it should be, 3rd and 4th are with it mounted to the bottom, and last pic is it mounted normal but it hits my adjustment screw for the sight. The pic of the bracket doesn't show it but the 2 posts where the quiver mounts to the bracket can be unscrewed. That's what i think i can replace with longer bolts and add some spacers. I only need 1/4 -1/2 " to clear the sight. I was just wondering if anyone else has had this problem with the Elite quivers.

longer screws and something used as spacers will work but I would call elite and see what they may suggest.  Dick (main bow tech) is generally very helpful.  You may need to push out the nylon fasteners from the mount vs. the mount from the bow since I think that mount post has triangular ends to keep the mount from spinning.

Solution found here.  Elite makes a longer mounting post.

" You may need to push out the nylon fasteners from the mount "  Moog that was what I was thinking, but I will call Elite first to see if I can get  the longer post as that seems much easier and will look better. Thanks for the help.

I would still use the bracket I mentioned. When you mount that thing out there your bow is going to be pretty heavy to that side. Adding a side weight to counter balance it will just make it even heavier. Even if you take your quiver off in the stand what's to say you don't run into a deer along the way with your quiver on.

I called Elite on Wednesday and left a message, Emily from customer service called me back yesterday and a longer replacement post is being shipped, no charge! Now i just have to wait until it arrives, hope it works. Great customer service, she commented on the fact that they want all of their customers to be happy with all their products.

Glad it worked out for you.  I'm a big fan of Elite.

their while on a hunt warranty speaks to their customer service.

Good deal

I got the new post for the quiver mount and it is the same size I already had. I called Elite and that is the longest they have, guess I'm back to square 1.

Might be time for a two piece elite unless the tightspot adapter will work with the elite quiver (not sure it does though). Or you could just sell it an buy a tightspot. Tough with a sight that sticks out that far. Other smaller quivers may work too.

I had a similar problem with my Compound . Got longer bolts / screws at the hardware store and cut a couple pieces from a throw away arrow shaft with the arrow saw . Worked like a charm .

problem solved, Thanks lawd, We took the lock nut off of the sight and left the Elite hardware alone. Works fine. The adjuster on the sight is stiff enough that I don't need to tighten the lock nut. I will just have to keep an eye on the yardage markings before I shoot to be sure it hasn't moved. I usually look at the yardage as I set up just to sure it is dialed in right so I don't think that will be  problem.
