They look like a red micarta tip overlay,I would shoot a low stretch FF type string on it.

Only the bowyer could tell you for certian but it sure looks like the tip was built with low stretch strings in mind.

They used to have a web site but it is no longer working. May have went out of business. As thin as that tip is I would not do it.

I vote with Danny.  There is micarta on the limb tips, but those are awfully thin limb tips.  I like the idea of using Dacron.
