Title: Limb protector for Howard Hill Pup bow
Post by: Hummer3T on December 24, 2012, 04:14:00 PM
I would like to make or buy a limb protector for this bow does anyone sell them or does anyone have some good suggestions in making one,  this bow has very skinny limbs and very fine tips (1/4 inch), I thought of using surgical, heat shrink, etc. not sure if these would work or if something better is out there.

Really easy to make. Just cut a piece of leather to the size you want.Punch a hole in one side,fold it over and either sew or glue it together with contact cement.

Some guys use baby bottle nipples, or the plastic dip for tool handles also works.
