I assume you're talking about the fiberglass limbs with black plastic tips???? I built a new overlay using JB Weld epoxy. Just put a gob on the limb tip bigger than the finished tip will be and left it to harden. I then shaped with files and sand paper.

I did see a guy selling some on freebay about one month ago...They are usely listed as Crossbow Limb Tips and String..I looked at em because I was looking for a small crossbow pistol string for my son in law.The string was not the correct one he nedded,but I did note that set of limb tips the guy had listed was the same as all the early type (1976) Bear and other manufactures used on thier solid limbs...You can actuly sand your limb to fit both new tips.Get a good fit and a little glue and your set....The tips and string were around 9.99 opening bid and it did not sell.So maybe keep an eye peeled on freebay for a set...bowdoc
