No experinece Roy, but my guess is since it vinyl or plastic it wont add any protection at all.

Only seen one pair put on and it was material like pantie hose,very thin and light,might hold down a splinter but I would also say maybe more than a regular skin but not much more.  :)

i have one that i bought from rudder bows and its basically a piece of fabric with print on one side i havent used it yet but i imagine it would give about the same amount of protection as an other fabric backing except maybe silk

 THANKS THATS KINDA WHAT I FIGGERED.
 I've got a really paper thin ringed osage stave that I'm going to use to build someone a bow from.
  Perfect bow to sinew but he dos'nt want sinew. So I think I'll leave a 1/8 inch sap wood and a fake skin.

I know that belly skin I put on that short bow was thick enough to add a little protection.  Got any fat snakes around you?

  I very seldom back bows and the only reason I mine useing this stave is I wooded the backing off I can't even remember when. The guy wanted to go as cheap as he could so it was there I gave the guy a break to use it.
  Raw would work fine just another step to do so if I do'nt need to I don't just lazzy I guess but I've always been this way. I would even but the skin on but he wants it. I've built a couple OSAGE and left the sap wood on that really did'nt need it.
  I know some do wander how much protection the sap wood is. I know it's some BIT THE # OF BOWS I'VE BACKIN THE LAST DOZZEN YEARS I CAN COUNT ON MY FINGERS.
