Title: Skinning Question
Post by: Bert Frelink on March 12, 2015, 11:18:00 AM

I am just about ready to skin the Osage bow I build for this fall, can't remember if the tail goes to the tip of the handle or if it even makes a difference?
Help   :help:  
Getting old   :o  
Thanks !!!
Bert

I like putting the head at the handle and the tail at the tip(with 2 skins). If I only have one skin I like the tail at the top limb tip. When you slide the string up over the nock it slides with the scale scars and not against.
