The consensus seems to be water snake and my foggy brain seems to now recall Scott saying he thought the same when he handed to me.
I have another pair from Scott of a completely different snake for the grandson's bow and his moms bringing the bow over tomorrow so I can
glue those down.
Yes I know Jon & Simon, I'm a short drawing archer at @ 24". When I try and stretch my draw out further my shooting really gets no better and 24" draw is where its comfortable for me. I lean my head in quite a bit on the aim, I call it a hunters style of shooting although in my case not a lot of animals have been harmed by my arrows lately.
Went to the shop and got a couple more coats of finish on it and another bow I'm finishing today, had no one to take a full draw pic but did get a braced pic before breaking out the tung oil for more coats.
Thanks for the comments guys.
