Title: Longbow take down connectors?
Post by: mydog'sslave on November 09, 2012, 07:41:00 PM
I saw a take down long bow the other night that the male end looked round with threads with 2(?) flat sides,  The female end down deep looked like a square hole. There were threads in this end also.  I believe you inserted the top into the bottom  & give it a 1/4 twist and it had a positive lock stop.  Does anyone know who makes this, what it's name is and where I could get one?  Other  than that, what might be a suggestion for the best connecting system?  Thanks a bunch.javascript:void(0)

It's called a bow bolt. I have a few bows that Maddog made for me w/ that system.
