OK i am going to ask a very dumb question,    but here goes....
How does, if at all,  applying the skins affect bow performance?

Not much at all, unless a very thick skin like big boa or python is used.

Leather on leather. Barge cement, even titebond if you scuff up the smooth leather underneath.

Bob Morrison is widely regarded at applying skins.
