Fiber optic replacement material
« on: February 22, 2013, 01:09:26 PM »
Does anyone have a source for fiber optic sight material? I am looking for green fiber with a thickness of 1.0 in. (2.5 mm).

I had looked in Midway but missed it I guess. Boy I don't know what we did before Google and these great Internet forums. Thanks again.

There is a lot of fiber optic fiber used in archery, so you can also find fibers of varing sizes and colors thru Archery Suppliers, like Lancaster.
