[bowless]

Looked around but couldn't fine any how to's or where to get beaver tail.
Can anyone point me in the right direction??

Big Jim has them as does Abe Penner at Caribow.

Big jim's beavertail grips are awesome. You might check with him. I think it was the Oct/Nov 2010 issue of Traditional Bowhunter that had a how to, as well.

Mine came from Abe when I bought my bow from him,and it is very high quality.Would bet 1 from Jim would also be very good quality also.

I have installed several of them on different style grips, pm me if u would like to and I will send you my phone number.  Would probably be easier to explain over the phone

The freezer

Big Jim put a couple on for me at Denton Hill.

Here's what you do.

1)Cover the handle in plastic wrap to protect from moisture.

2)Soak the Beaver Tail in warm water for 10 minutes.

3)Remove from water and pat dry then wrap tightly around the handle stretching it to conform around the curves of the grip. Get all the wrinkles out then wrap tightly with plastic wrap.

4)Come back in two hours and remove everything.

5)Let the tail dry 24 hours then trim to size.

6)Glue on with "Barge Cement" and lace up.

SUPER EASY!

Here is one I just did the other day.

What do ya think?

They are not hard at all!!!  Your first one will most likely turn out GREAT!

tenbrook,
In step (4) where you say to remove everything and let it dry.  Do you mean to remove the beavertail too, and then let it dry while not on the bow?

How much of an increase to the grips throat diameter does the beaver tail give?

Yes.

Before you take it off mark it (I use a very fine paint pen in white) where you need to trim it.

Hope this helps.

It is noticeable without a doubt.  Much less then a leather grip though.  The beaver tail is not very thick at all.

This one came from Big Jim.

Anyone ever done a two piece bow bolt?  Was thinking of adding one to my Toelke but didn't know how you would do it for a two piece.
