antler limb bolts
« on: July 02, 2018, 02:22:02 PM »
Thinking about getting new limb bolts that I don't need a tool  to take them off.  Are people generally happier with antler bolts or the black knobs?

The black knobs stick out too far for my tastes and catch on stuff. They do remove the need for a tool though.  Always a trade off.  I always carry a few extra hex wrenches in different parts of my gear.

Antler only for me.  A touch of class.  No tools.  Looks better than knobs imo.  I’ve never had issues with antler knobs or hex.

Gary, I think I may have a set. I will look for them Thursday and
send you a picture. If you like them, they’re yours.

kind of thinking I would like the antler type better,  but I'll be in touch.

Gary, the steel one's aren't nearly good looking as the antler, but I'm cheap.  Have a son-in-law that made me some steel.
