Thinking about getting new limb bolts that I don't need a tool to take them off. Are people generally happier with antler bolts or the black knobs?
The black knobs stick out too far for my tastes and catch on stuff. They do remove the need for a tool though. Always a trade off. I always carry a few extra hex wrenches in different parts of my gear.
Antler only for me. A touch of class. No tools. Looks better than knobs imo. I've never had issues with antler knobs or hex.
Definately antler limb bolts,easy to make yourself.I inlet elk ivories in the top to give them an extra bit of class,easy to make.
There is also SHEEP HORN knobs which are pricey,BUT very cool & unique.Dave Windauer of Schafer bows make some beauties !!!
Gary, I think I may have a set. I will look for them Thursday and
send you a picture. If you like them, they're yours.
thank you very much, David.
Talk later
Gary, I have several sets of black steel knobs if you want some of them.
Thanks very much Glenn. How do they look on a bow?
kind of thinking I would like the antler type better, but I'll be in touch.
Pics sent Gary.
thanks
Gary, the steel one's aren't nearly good looking as the antler, but I'm cheap. Have a son-in-law that made me some steel.
