I have a Bodnik Mohawk walnut riser. I was thinking about putting an insert in so I could have a removable quiver. Shouldn’t this be as easy as drilling into the riser to screw in the insert or is there something I am missing? I don’t want to screw up the finish or hurt the riser in any way.

Hey Jay, there was a guy on this forum the manufactured a self adhering quiver mount. It was designed for a kweekie quiver I believe. Can remember his handle. He was sending out samples to test about 8 months ago.

I have used brass quiver inserts ( 3 rivers sells them ) on several risers. I like the 1/4-20 thread. You should use a brad drill bill rather than a normal bit. It will drill more precisely . You can simply wrap a piece of tape around the bit for a depth gauge. I use an epoxy glue for the inserts. Put a small piece tape on the bottom of the insert to keep glue out of the threads , before installing them. They are not hard to install at all. You can do a test on a piece of scrap wood first.

I’ve got quiver bushings coming for a BW bow. I intend to install them next week. I’ve got so I much prefer a bolt on quiver. I plan on taking my time shouldn’t be a problem. Thinking I’ll clamp a peice of oak over the area to drill to keep it from splintering also carefully set the depth on the drill press.

I used the Three River inserts as well. Easy peasy and they look and work great.
Cannot wrap my head around the silly theory that removing nine grains of wood from a bow and tapping in two inserts "RUINS" a vintage bow.
When I began bowhunting in 1988 I installed Kwikee mounts on my 1969 Super Kodiak that someone gave me and then a 1986 Howatt Mamba. That's what we did because Kwikee's were, and are, an excellent quiver.

If you aren't going to shoot with the quiver on the bow you can adhere the Kwikee mount to the riser with heavy duty velcro or double sided tape.
hat is if you don't want to drill the riser.

Just an installation tip. Install the inserts flush with the riser, not below the surface of the riser. If you install the inserts below the surface of the riser, when you tighten the screws, they will tend to pull the inserts out of the riser. Likewise, be sure to not use screws that are too long. If you do, when they bottom out, they will push the inserts out of the riser.
Also good idea to use a drill press and a forester bit so you get a straight i.e., 90 degree, hole, and so you don't lift the finish or chip the wood around the hole for the insert.
God luck.

The bottom one in this picture is currently available. Shoot me an email. The pic is a prototype, but is representative. They are designed for any AMO spacing accessory.
Regarding inserts there are a bunch of different types available. The best ones are designed so that the screw spreads out the bottom against the side walls. Most of the other types pull out and make a mess. And follow Orion's advice above.

I would add it's a good idea to put a piece of tape on the bit so you drill to the right depth.

I have one bow with inserts. These inserts are shaped just like screw in inserts for arrows, with a lip that sits on the surface of the riser. This prevents the quiver bracket, or whatever is attached, from marring the wood. It also keeps the inserts from being installed below the surface.

Just got through installing the inserts in my Widow. Turned out really well and was easy. I ordered inserts from BW they are threaded and have the flange as mentioned above. The hole I needed was an I drill .270 dia. Didn’t have a brad point drill at that diameter so tried on a scrap peice and no splintering but I did use a drill press and fed in very slow to begin with.
