Thanks Guys, appreciate the kind words.
I'll have it with me at Elm Hall.
DC, if your talking draw weight, yes I did and I can't tell any difference. But the Flex Coat was designed for coating fishing rods so it's fleixable and doesn't add any weight. but feathers are very tough and I believe it does help with splinters lifting etc. I think it is better than fabric backing for protection.
