Tips

Tips are the limb tips of a bow – the outermost ends of the limbs. The string is attached at the tips.

Functions:

  • Hold the string loops (nock loops)
  • Transfer force from the limb to the string
  • Influence arrow speed and shooting behavior

Special features:

  • Highly stressed part of the bow
  • Often reinforced with inlays (e.g., horn, plastic, micarta)
  • Must be strong and abrasion-resistant
