I doubt that you could wear out a Beaver tail. I've never seen a beaver with a wore out tail and they are several years old by the time we get the tails from them.

I have on rare occasion had a tail slip after extensive use. It happens occasionally but it is rare. It only requires re gluing and it is good to go. I don't think I have ever heard of having one slip twice.

I charge between $55 for longbow style grips and up to $75 for more complicated to install grips. That includes all materials. It doesn't include return shipping however.

I keep Black and Brown tails in stock for install or you can buy them to do it yourself.

I put one my Bear T.D. and love it!  Unlike Blacksticks I kept mine full length and have no problems.  I have really large hands also.  They are great in all weather conditions.

As you can tell, all my bows have a beavertail by BigJim

 

After years of use, no issue at all!

I always thought a beaver tail grip was more for look than functionality. After getting my Buffalo that had one on it I think it is hands down the best material I have ever had on a bow grip!

Blackstick, I don't know how they feel, but those grips sure look nice on that bow.  Looks like he did a great job.  Maybe don't close your hand all the way so your fingers don't touch down there ?
