octane quilver problem
 
Just bought a Octance 2 pcs quilver

I shoot a matthews LX................the mounts fit kinda lose?

Anyone else have this problem....and they don't fit the holes.

Sounds like a Mathews problem not an Octane problem. LOL I'm just kidding.:D

You say it doesn't fit the holes? Does Mathews make theirs special for a 2 piece? I know when I shot Hoyt their holes had a triangle around them for their own 2 piece quiver. Does Mathews do something similar? And when you say loose, the actual bolt through the hole or the bolt wont tighten down all the way?

The Octane quiver has a small red button on the nocking side......appears to be a good setup but when I torque it down I can still move the quilver. It is not loose but not rock steady either.

I beleve I will sell it.

As far as I know only Mathews 2 piece quivers will fit a Mathews bow properly. The Mathews mount is a circle with a bump out for a locking screw. This "bump out" also keeps the quiver from rotating on the bow. Unless the Octane mount is exactly the same it won't be secure.

When I purchased my Octane it came with differant inserts for different bows... are you using the correct one?

Hey Alaska,
Is that quiver worth the $120+ they want for it?
Just curious..

thanks for the replys

I bought it used so they had a insert for the Matthews bow..........that is what I need.

Once I get the proper insert......really like the Magnetic Hood sweet.

Less than 100.00.........is what I gave for it.

I'm glad you got itsorted out and it's nice that you are able to purchase the correct inserts, the Octane line seems like pretty well made stuff.

Alaska I will see if I still have my inserts and if so I will send them your way

I still have two inserts from when I purchased it which ones do you need if either (top ones or bottom)

I have the Octane 2 piece and my only complaint is that it is very heavy...so much so that it changes the comfort level of your bow. I'm undecided about using it in the field for hunting?????

Geronimo, are you using the magnet hood? If so, you can change that out to the foam to lighten the load.

I change my hoods, magnetic vs. foam depending on where I'll be hunting and how much walking I'll be doing. The magnetic hood is Sweet, but the foam insert is the best I have ever used.

I recently bought a Bantam weight quiver, and it is one super, lightweight, high quality quiver choice as well!

How do you do that Rob?

The Hood inserts just pull out and push in to change them.

The bottom ones look like a Mathews mount system. I suspect that's what Alaska338 needs.

Cool...Thanks Rob!
