Need source for mini bow tip protectors

[Ryan Rothhaar]

Can anyone tell me where I can order some of these?  RMSG has only 1pk in stock - I would like to order several 5 packs.... if not a sponsor feel free to PM me.  Thanks, guys!

You can cut nipples of baby bottles.  They work great and are clear.  Just a suggestion.

I think I got a buynch of them from Kustom King a few years back

Would dipping the bow tip in liquid plastic, like for tools, or liquid tape, like for over electrical connections hurt the bow ?  They have certain solvents in them, so not sure.

Big Jim has them.

Thanks for the alternative ideas, but I'm looking for these specifically.... they are the very small ones that only cover the tip, but not the string at all.  I think I originally got mine from KK too, but I don't see them there, Jim's are different too....

Any other sources out there?

I don't have a clue where to find them, but if you do find a source, I would love to know where. I need that same thing!

I would be interested as well. I have been cutting the big ones down to fit my WesWallace LB. I turn them side ways so they fit over the antler tip overlays.

Not the same but probably the same material. I  use these from 3 Rivers. You could cut them off. They stay put for me and seem to stick too. A bugger to get off when you want to. Not exactly what you're looking for. Just a thot.

Kustom King has them on page 31 of their latest catalog, the one with Ron La Clair on the cover.

I haven't been a fan of the shiny vinyl protectors, so I buy the all-rubber ones and cut them down short enough to just protect the tip. They fit tight and I have never lost one in many years.

[BWD]

Cut them at an angle, from back to belly side, so your string is not trying to push it off, and the back side covers the string groove to hold the string in place when unstrung.

Thanks for the info, guys.  Looks like these are a victim of the old "if they make something you like, better buy a bunch, 'cause they'll soon quit making them".    :mad:

Not at Kustom King on pg.31....Dave MP

The last one I took off had water in it not a good thing to have your bow tip soaking in . I would never put vinyl or rubber tip protectors on my bow.

Item # 4763 Mini bow tip protector on page 31 of my newest catalog 3.50 per 5 Kustom king, unless I'm freaking seeing things! better look again Dave.

[Dave Paradowski]

northern lights, You're absolutely right.They are in the catalog. The're so small I didn't see them. ...Dave

Ryan - You happen to know what company manufactures? Haven't seen little ones just over the tips and not the string groves, but you have me now interested in them too...

[Ryan Rothhaar]

I called Kustom King and she told me that they are discontinued.  Bear Paw from Germany was the source. She said that KK sold a lot of them, but they aren't being manufactured now.

I agree with Tim, good source to trap moisture.
I use the leather ones, when moisture is present
you will see it in the leather.
