Where can I buy some limb bolt knobs? I don't want the fake antler ones 3 rivers sells. I seen the ones one the Blacktail Web sight. I heard Shaffer sells them but they don't have any pictures on there Web sight. Checked the sponsor classified but didn't see any thing on there.
I made mine using actual antler knobs - just buy the hardward drill the antler and epoxied them in. They've worked fine. They aren't perfectly round and symmetrical like the fake ones -- but I wanted real ones.
Buy the antler Rosettes online. Use a Forstner bit and right size bolt with hex head. Use 2 ton epoxy and epoxy them on. I find the center of the show side of the antler rosettes then follow those lines to the back of the rosettes and where they cross is my center where I drill. Drill deep enough to hide the hole head of bolt. I put on vise and as they dry I check to make sure they stay perpendicular to the rosette.

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. You can search his handle on "that other site" and PM him or you can PM me and I will give you the address for his shop.
God bless, José
I have a thread going "show me your limb bolts" and there are a few on there and they say where they got them and who made them if that helps you any.
Bought mine from Schafer. Was very happy with them. I wouldn't worry about no pictures. Schafer is a stand up company.
