Having a new one built soon and can't decide how to go with this, any advice would help. Pro's and cons?
thanks

I don't recall having an option.  What choices are available for limb attachment?

studs fixed to the riser or bushings with the bolts loose.

I prefer the bolts loose utilizing the brass bolt bezels as opposed the the big black knobs that go with the bolts fixed in the riser.  

Different strokes for different folks, I suppose.

I am always gone with the bolts gone so the riser is easier to store when nedeed. Plus you can easily find a spare one if for any reason you loose something plus more aftermarket options

Loose bolts it is! thanks guys.

When I got my Silvertip, I indicated that I wanted antler burl fastenings for the limbs, so my limbs came with the fixed bolts, and also with a spare pare of the ugly black knobs.  My understanding is that was the way it had to be if I wanted the Silvertip antler burls, although antler burl fastenings are available other places, I guess, that have the bolts built into the burls themselves.  I've never had any problem with the fixed bolts, and I guess never gave it a thought until I read these posts.

I have three tips with fixed bolts. I like to add brass antler burrs to mine for extra weight. I don't like loose bolts because they require an allen tool. Enjoy the bow.

Ive ordered all my Tips with the bolts loose.  I like the idea of not having the threaded bolt sticking out and potentially scratching another riser or limb.

I know Danny likes his bolts attached.

Both my tips have fixed bolt and like the antler knobs .  
Would like to get a set of double carbon limbs one day.
Herd they are quicker .

I like the fixed bolts.  No tools needed for taking down/putting together.

Yep, fixed bolts with brass antler knobs. but you can get the antler knobs with the bolts in them if you prefer.

I have a 42# Silvertip longbow that has double carbon limbs.  I like the way it shoots, and plan to keep it, but I haven't found it to be noticeably faster.  I also have a 40# Toelke Lynx with normal laminated wood limbs, that chronos at the same speed as the Silvertip with the same arrow.  Granted, the Lynx is a takedown and the Silvertip is a one-piece, so may not be directly comparable, but OTOH they are both 66" longbows.

You can have bolts loose of any kind,mine are the Silvertip antler bronze knobs to add wheight or I can use real antler carved knobs or the small black knobs..Options are countless.
