Title: I wanna get skinned!
Post by: threeunder on March 23, 2013, 01:53:00 PM
I have a Northern Mist Classic I'd like to get skinned.  The front of the limbs is just too light in color to hunt with.

What are my options?

Thanks

Couple of nice tutorials on youtube.com. Look under "snake skins on bow limbs". Also, I have heard that 3Rivers has good skins at a fair price. I push 3Rs because they are a sponsor here and are simply great to deal with.

Thanks everyone for your input.  After looking at everything, I'm going to try the Limbsations from Onestringer.com.

I don't have any burning desire for real skins.  Just need to tone down that really light bamboo color on the limbs.

Appreciate all responses.

Ken

I put the limbsations on a recurve in 06 that gets heavy use and they still look ok.
