Post by: brianbfree on August 05, 2014, 10:17:00 PM

I got these bolts from Brigham54 on that other site. Easy on  and easy off. No tools needed. He also has antler burrs and other stuff. I like the knobs, simple enough.
God bless, José

Here are mine. Stick shooter and his wife Michelle made them. Since they were for my Whippenstick Phoenix, I drawed a Phoenix  and mailed the design to them. They carved it in the antler... They did a fantastic job and are fantastic people!

Steve Hartley who makes the Voodoo Kustom elk antler riser longbows made those bison horn bolts for me.  The hardest part/ talent is carving the horn into a design.  The bolt is just set into the bottom of the horn with an epoxy based resin.  A trick is to use a hex head bolt to spread out the force of tightening the bolt.  If you use a round or knurled head bolt its not as strong cause the resin has nothing to grab onto.
