Limb Tip protectors
« on: September 14, 2010, 01:33:00 PM »
I got this idea from JoeKieth & thought I'd pass it along. I went to the baby section at Wally World & bought a pack of 2 pacifiers for 97 cents. Take the the pacifier apart & cut to length. They're made of silicone & aren't very noticeable. At 50 cents apiece, they're very reasonable & easy to find. Sorry for the quality of the pic.
 
God Bless

Been using them for several years now, they even got a factory made hole in the bottom to let  any water out.

Pretty much looks like you have it on a longbow. Does it come off while shooting, or do you have to cut a hole in it for the string?

KumaSan, No it stays on really nice. You will have to force them on the limb tip.

We just got my daughter off of her pacifiers.  Now I know what to do with them instead of throwing them away.

The quest to improve is so focused on a few design aspects & compensating for hunter ineptness as to actually have reduced a bow & arrow’s effectiveness. Nothing better demonstrates this than mech. BHs & speed fixated designs

I like limb tip protectors, but hate to cover up those purty tips.....this solves that.  I like it!
