EK Archery VLAD Limb Tips
EK Archery VLAD Limb Tips: Protection and Safety with Every Shot
Limb tips, also known as Limb Tips, are essential components for the proper operation of the EK Archery VLAD pistol crossbow. They play the crucial role of creating a smooth, secure contact surface between the limb ends and the string, preventing premature damage to both parts.
Why Are Limb Tips Important for the VLAD?
-
String Protection: Limb edges can be abrasive under the tension of 60 or 90 pounds. Limb tips protect the string loops from cutting or fraying caused by friction.
-
Limb Integrity: They help distribute the pulling force evenly across the limb end, reducing the risk of micro-cracks in the composite material.
-
Ballistic Stability: They ensure correct string positioning on the limbs, contributing to more consistent and accurate shooting.
-
Original Replacement Part: As an original EK Archery product, these tips are made from durable polymer that withstands repeated impact and high pressure.
When Should You Replace the Limb Tips?
-
If you notice cracks or obvious signs of wear in the plastic.
-
If the string loops seem to wear out unusually fast at the ends.
-
After a dry-fire incident, inspecting them is mandatory for safety.
