If you like it now, wait til they come off and you seal it. You will really like them. Scales are nasty and will just find there way to the ground over time. That will make for a spotty bow. I use duct tape to remove scales. Lay it down the whole limb and use two fingers to rub it down, dont be shy pushing down. Once thats done grab the "head" end and gently pull the tape upand back. Nearly all the scales will come off in one swipe. You HAVE to pull with the scales, not against. If you go against the scales you will lift bits of skin all over and it will be very rough and nasty.
