I have a Wing Slimline Competition that has a broken tip overlay. Its a clean break and the tip is good. Can I pay someone here to fix it?

I don't think gluing the old piece back on would work for long.
I bet you could fix it yourself with some epoxy , black and white fiberglass, a $3 chainsaw file and a little sandpaper. I won't be back at the shop for a few weeks but I could mail you the fiberglass to fix it . Let me know if you are interested in attempting it yourself.
Also the banner at the top of the page is the bow hospital, check them out , I hear they do amazing work.

Two good ideas. It's not really a terribly hard fix if you just take your time.
FWIW it would cost probably $25-30 each way just for postage, so even if someone did It for free it would be rather expensive.
I would probably very carefully file the remainder off being careful not to cut into the back glass, then glue new overlays and shape as rmorris suggested.
Ill check with Bowdoc, its takedown so shipping one limb may not be to bad. I may try and do it myself rmorris. Let me know when you get back and Ill buy some glass.
So those tips are glass not phenolic?
Those tips do look like glass.
If you're prepared to redo both tips you could go to phenolic instead.
