Title: Need a Small LImb Bolt For Sky Recurve
Post by: snufer on September 10, 2012, 09:14:00 AM
I have an older Sky target bow (1970s)that is missing one of the small limb bolts.
Anyone know where I can find one??

What size? Most bow limb bolts appear to be  5/16 X 18 by either 1" or 1 1/4" in length. Go to a Home Depot (or the like) and they can measure the size for you.

This is a special bolt, with a large head, small unthreaded shaft with about 1/2" of 1/4" threads on the end. I will try to post a pic.

Another option would be to take the other bolt to a nut and bolt supply house like fastenal. Usually they have every bolt you could imagine.
