Title: Antler limb bolts?
Post by: Ulysseys on January 27, 2014, 05:57:00 PM
Anyone know where I can get some decent antler limb bolts?  I'm looking for real not cast.  I want to throw a set on the Stalker Wolverine that I'm slowly loving more and more compared to my longbows.

I got some on the unmentionable auction site a few years ago.

Head out and do some scouting:) I have a pair that I found a few years ago which I made into bolts myself.

Contact Brian at Tall Tines.  I got a superb set from him.  I would expect nothing but the best from Tall Tines, AND they were affordable (That's the only way I'd buy them).

Just read what you wrote again.  Mine are cast, and in my eyes that makes them superior.  The "antler" is formed all the way around the bolt head in a monolithic pour, not a bolt glued to a solid surface.

I'm going to take that in to account and check out some cast ones as well...I just assumed they'd appear inferior.

If you have the bolts then Moscow Fur and Hide has the crown rosettes.  A Dremel and some J-B Weld and you're gold.

Another vote for Gray Feather. W put them on our bows and sale them as accessories. You can see them on our website.

Bill Dunn at Zipper offers some on his site too, and you can bet if he builds it, it will be sweet!
