Trimmed rubber works well

Anybody use one on a Shrew?  What brand works?

I also use the rubber ones, they don't look quite as good, but the better looking hard plastic ones seem to pop off quite often. DK.

Hey Stickslinger74, they sell the rubber ones at 3 Rivers archery, one of the tradgang sponser, a great company to work with, item number 4248X at 3.99 each. As previously mentioned, the hard plastic ones have a tendency to pop off, which when hunting if unnoticed can be very hard on your limb tips. DK.

Guess I'm in the minority here in not using one at all.  On some bows it doesn't matter, but my Widow (PSAV) is definately a little quieter without it.  And I'm just too lazy (and forgetful) to take it off everytime it gets wet.

I use the rubber ones. If you are new here,you have to post some pic. of that new bow when you get it.

There was a thread on here awhile back about inexpensive bow tip protectors. Go to Walmart and buy some Walmart brand Pacifiers, 3 in a pack for under $2. Cut the pacifier end off and put it on the bow tip; it really does work.

What? Am I the only "traditionalist" here?      
I only use leather tip protectors!  
   
(Except on bows with antler tips... I hate to cover them up!)

I don't use one. Don't use an armguard either. Guess I'm weird.

Absolutely not necessary so why even consider one?

I make mine from surgical tubing, comes in different sizes It's open on the end lets water drip through slide it on to just over string trim off with a little over hang on tip

I made 3 orders (kept adding to it!) from 3 Rivers yesterday.  I'll use the rubber ones but have the string through it to keep it in place.  I want to tune my bow with everything on it as it will be when hunting, full quiver, tip protector, string silencers, etc.  I don't see any point in tuning a bare bow only to add to it and possibly have a surprise waiting to happen!  Thanks again for all the helpful information!!

Rubber, hands down they stay on the bow.....

I always practice "safe bow" and slide on a rubber tip.
I really like the surgical tubing idea.

Rubber when I use them ,but on most bows it changes the feel of the bow on the shot and can make a change to tune.  Some of my bows have them and some don't. If I felt I really needed one on my bottom limb and didn't like the feel of the bow or tune with it, I would just put one on each end.

Baby pacifiers, what a great idea!  Cheap too!

rubber never made a tuneing issue for me
