Hickory backed with rat snake
« on: February 22, 2012, 04:07:27 pm »
Here's a basic hickory self bow backed with some beautiful rat snake skins I received in trade from Criveraville.

Bow is 37#@26" and left handed. It was made for someone else so I'll let them take the money-shot full draw pic when they receive it.

Is it my trade bow?............maybe.......maybe not.......  >:D >:D >:D >:D >:D >:D >:D >:D >:D >:D >:D >:D >:D

Oh I like that allot!  Them are some purdy skins. Love the tip wraps and overall colors.  But I can't for any reason understand why you cut the shelf on the wrong side? :'(
