Look no further.
Frank is the one! :thumbsup:
Killdeer
I'll chime in the other side. He had a set on his sponser site I wanted to buy. I pm'd him twice, in 4 months he never got back to me. I don't know if he was busy or what but a reply would have been nice. Just my own experiance.
Houseman I would bet that he never got the PM's. His PM box is full ALOT! LOL
Everything I have from Frank is TOP SHELF! And he is a GREAT guy.
Here is a set of limbolts he made me

I'll 3rd Frank.....very talented
Glad ya all like the bolts. Houseman I don't remember getting 2 pms from you or emails sorry. But if you would like a set I would be happy to send you a set for free. I do not blow people off. My Pm box fills fast and our server has been having alot of problems in the past. So anyone trying to get intouch with me and it's full normally email me or they can pm or email Shell. Remember this is a hobby and I work 45hrs a week at a regular job. Shell and I do our best to stay on top of things no matter what some have been told by others, I am really easy to get a hold of I live on this site everyday and been on here for a longtime. So again We are sorry if anyone feels that we have blown them off. And if we can we try and always make it right. thanks everyone.<><
Frank makes some awesome antler limb bolts!!

Frank, I sent you an email Sun. and haven't heard back. Did you receive it?
Hi dave last one I got from you was on the 13th. tell ya what I am going to start having emials go to shell email addy and her PM for limb bolts. her email can be reached via her email link from TG under her avatar... Shell
Thanks <><
Frank and Shell are real busy, I've been corresponding with Shell for a while now and sometimes it takes a couple of days to get the reply but it will come. If you don't get an answer there was a technical error, so try again. Shell has gone to great lengths to make sure the bolts are exactly what I want and need right down to the smallest detail. Just great folks.
Hey Frank, how's that saying go "behind every good man there's great woman" :clapper:
Frank, Thanks for getting back to me. Tonya just sent Shell an email.
Thanks again.
Dave
Okie Dokie Dave. Thanks Danny and everyone else.
I can't imagine how fast Frank would answer a PM if he wasn't so busy!
I PM'd him about a knife tonight, and he replied back in less than 30 minutes.
Frank and Shell are first class all the way, look no further for a top notch set of limb bolts, knives and quivers.
If there is a problem you can bet your last dollar they will take care of it.

I've been a BIG fan of Frank's limb bolts for a long time now, but as far as I know he hasn't attempted to make a set to fit the Silvertips yet.......
What's it going to take Frank? :pray:
Thanks Guys,. Bassi I gotta get my hands on a ST to see whats what. I may have to try and swap for one LOL<><
Hey Frank, If you were a lefty I'd send you mine to "play" with. I do think Dave and his wife have a "test drive" program. I'm sure Shell would understand your need to do some "research". :readit: ;)
Sticshooter,
Is the man!
Frank or Shell would never blow anyone off..... the workmanship of all of their products are top notch and you wont find two more generous people out there..they have donated to many fund raisers and are always willing to help out... If Frank or Shell havent responded to a pm it would surely be due to a technical error....
I can testify to their commitment to sticking to it until you have what you need! Whatever it takes, within reason, they will do. Thanks again Shell and Frank! Top notch bolts! They are the best!

I think that pretty much sums it up right there!!! I've been PM'ing Frank and Shell for the last few days about making a set for me, and they have both been very responsive. Even took the time to answer some (probably) silly questions I posed, all with a friendly attitude.
If you'd like to see some very nice examples of their work, here's a quick link to some pictures:

Very impressive work, IMHO... And that's just the limb bolts!!! :clapper: :clapper: :clapper:
Thanks everyone, May have found out what has been up with the emails since I use yahoo, not too sure but here is what Rob had posted and maybe why we had not received emails from folks. Just wanted to clear this up.<><
Again if you would like to email about limb bolts, my wife's is located in my post on page 1 until I can get something else figured out to make sure I am doing all I can for folks.<><

Frank,
Schafer Limb bolts are probably easier than the standard...just need to center drill the antler, tap (not necessary but probably the most secure), and glue in a brass insert (available from Binghams). Old one's used a 3/8" diameter insert and new ones take a 1/4". As with all Schafer's, a nylon washer is a must between the knob and the limb. If you decide to make some, let me know...I'd love to have a set with your artistry!!
Bob I am going to get my hands on a ST soon I hope.And also have plans for a set to fit another Hot bow which I might be posting pics of very soon LOL><>
frank and shell are top notch you will not be disapointed the work they do is fantastic
:thumbsup: for Frank and Shell!
Frank, I pm'd you and emailed Shell. I'm interested in a set. Thought I'd post here just in case you didn't get the others.
Thanks,
Allen
I'm interested. Would someone contact me! Thanks!
