 Very nice bow and gift BigA. The turkey feather backing is cool and unusal. You will have to give us the details on how you did that. Going to be some real lucky kid. ;)

I got to see BigA's bow Saturday, and the turkey feather backing is really unique! Good camo idea for a hunting bow. Anthony has a big heart for the kids, I'm sure this bow will have a real positive impact on some lucky kid! ;)

That's a really cool looking bow!  I would've never thought of doing that with the turkey feathers.  I like that snakey look too.  Someone will be very happy I'm sure.

Very cool BigA! I thought it was a snake at first glance :).

Excellent work with that skin. I, too, could easily mistake it for a snake. Nice Tillering and looking forward to seeing this one for February Self BOM consideration.

I've seen pheasant back feathers on a bow before but they didn't that good. Yours looks great and that is some of natures best camo. Well done Sir!

Sweet bow.  I really like the lines. That feather backing is a great idea and it came out great.  Really nice work.

That is a great looking bow! I've never seen a bow backed with feathers. Very attractive. Jawge
