Title: Skins on a Longbow
Post by: LongStick64 on February 03, 2013, 10:02:00 AM

Guys
Does anyone know of a sponsor here that would update a bow for me. I have an older Robertson Vision longbow that I would like to have snakes skins applied and a new grip installed.

Thanks always
Pete

Bob Morrison has done a couple sets for me. The last time I talked with him,Eastern-Western-Cottonmouth-Canebrake installed on your bow ran around $225 done/shipped. Copperheads were a bit more. The work is first class,and will last the life of the bow. rat'

You might also contact Dick Robertson and ask him about updating/refinishing your bow.

Snakewood3 is a sponsor and he just redid an Osage bow for me, complete w/ copperhead skins and new leather. He did a beautiful job. I couldn't be more pleased. There is a recent post on "The Bowyer's Bench" in regarding this bow and his work, complete w/ photographs. He is also a great guy to deal with.
