Title: snakeskin/wood choice? help!
Post by: Boone the Hunter on February 15, 2010, 07:58:00 PM
I'm getting close to ordering a new longbow soon and I love the look of snakeskins but am having a very hard time figuring out what combo of wood and skin to go with, there are so many different sweet ways to go. Wondering if some of you fine gents out there would mind posting some pics of bows with different skin/wood combos. thanks

I have these copperhead skins on the limbs of my osage riser Predator. See what you think about it:

Thanks, John. Yours are tremendous looking too! The limbs match the risers perfectly.
