Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.... I don't like them....

The craftsmanship of the guys that do them here is outstanding, and their work is top notch, but I feel it blows the lines of a bow.

I was going to say the only downside is catching on everything and the looks.I don't care for them either.  :)

The downside is they look really goofy and take away from the looks of an otherwise nice looking bow.

There finally a naysayer for ya!!

Anyone that has had a problem with antler limb bolts snagging up I have a question. Do you use a bow quiver and does it snag up also?<><

Kip I know you are not downgrading anything. I just never had anyone tell me they ever had this problem before. I never noticed it . But I do know stuff snags on my limb and string. No hard feelings on my part with anyone here. and i am sorry if i came across like that.<><

Couldn't you have more than one set? One for looks and one for tramping through the brush?

I'll expect a commission Frank......LOL!

For the earlier question about silvertips,
on the order form you choose black knobs, or allen wrench brass bezel attachments. I am sure the most common is black knobs, but you can choose other when you oder.
