Thats exactly what you'll need to do. Most bow shops will have a coffee can full of spacers and screws of various sizes. In the past, I have even had to manufacture spacers out of (brilliant really) cut down pieces of carbon arrow shafts. Trick is not breaking the shaft..... but there are plenty of spacers made specifically for what you trying to accomplish.

Last night I used the spacers that came with the Sight. I used a 1 1/2" screw with 10-32 threading. It will work but I do not like the fact that the quiver sits so high off the riser. I really like the quiver but may have to go back to my two piece Mathews quiver or do something like Bigbulls did,

Thanks guys. I found the spacers that came with the sight. Just now I have to find longer screws. Gotta head to Lowes tomorrow. Do not really like the quiver to sit that high off the riser but that is all I can do. Called a Mathews dealer because I have that brand of bow and all he could tell me was that the Mathews quiver mounts on the riser and not on the sight.

I used the spacers that came with he sight to mount my Octane quiver. It worked, but the bow is war off balance because the quiver sticks out so far. I cannot shoot with it on.
Bigbulls, does this option that you are suggesting solve this problem? Please try to set an octane quiver up on that bow, shot it, and tell me if it feels balanced. If it does, I will buy one from you as well.

I also have the Optimizer on my bow. The set up Big Bullshas ispretty cool butthe arrows still block or at leasthinderaccess tothe windage wheel ifyou're still hunting and need to get off a long shot quickly?
I have a tree limb quiver on mine and just used the spacer andthe longer screws provided in the HHA sight kit; however, I use a cat backquiver whenever possible and try not to have the quiver on the bow period.
One thing to be careful with these HHA sights which is there only big problem and that's to protect the fiberoptic pin as it's easily broken with a branch due to the exposed nature of the pin. I put a lens kit on for the sole purpose of protecting that pin.
