I have antler bolts on one take down the buck my father shot when he was the same age it was birthday present he made them and they look like a pro did them beautiful Im gonna get limbs and have them sent out to be skinned for it also but I'm a huge fan of one piece recurves with camo bow socks in old camo patterns just cause I can take them on and off and swap camo and it protects my bows even on my shortest recurve a sheepeater spirit static recurve

Ilike the snake skins very well, although I do not own a bow with them.  The antler limb bolts look to me like they would cause a lot of trouble on a bow.  Like banging up aginst the other bows in the truck when driving to a spot and maybe catching clothing while on the stand.

But then again, I hear alot of wheel bow shooters asking how in the world I use a 66" bow in a tree...to me, its never been a problem.

I've never had skins on a bow but think they look nice from the pictures.

I do like  real antler limb bolts, hate the fake ones.  The thing that's nice about antler bolts is you never need to worry about having or loosing the allen wrench if you want to take your bow down.

I love antler bolts when the burrs lay right down on the limb . When they stick up high they are downright ugly to me. Snakes are only good for one thing. Skinning bows. Done nicely I love em. In fact I just bought two pairs of copperheads from Charles.

God bless you all, Steve

You know, it's sort of like pretty, young girls. I've never seen two exactly alike but I enjoy looking at them all.  At my age, if I tried picking up a pretty girl I'd probably get slapped and get a hernia at the same time.

At least with the bows I can still pick them up, fondle them and even have a good time with them.

I like skinned up bows,surely depends on the bow.You know,over a black glass shinny bow for camo.Im not an antler burr bolt guy though,for myself.Kind of appreciate it that some guys love them though and kind of like seeing them if they are done right.

I like snake best on primitive self bows but have seen other laminated and a few glass bows that look good with them. I don't have skins on any of my bows. I have no particular opinion of antler bolts as I shoot only 1 piece bows.  But I have seen some bows that looked very nice with them and would be proud to be seen shooting them.

You're not alone, I don't care for either of them, and won't have them on my bows.  But as just about everyone else has said, to each their own.

 Ya mean like this, Note the snakeskinned antler knobs. Now that ought to just fry your chicken, LOL

God bless you all, Steve

Here's another one you will fall in love with          Skins cover carbon.  Antlers don't snag or cause any problems (and like someone said, you don't need a wrench):

Sweet looking SXT Will !!!

Good looking SXT.  I have bull snake skins on mine, osage in the riser as well.  Love it.

yaooowza...sixby.....that fried my chicken fer sure...snake skins on antler burrs ....who da thunk it ? I been thinkin bout mounting a rubber squeezey bicycle horn on my next bow...just to get everyones attention on the 3D course...aooooooga....

I can care less for limb bolts and snake skins... As for the rest I,m with Brock...

I don't really dig skins or antler bolts. But then again I don't like fancy woods if they are just veneers. I just like to see the wood or 'boo thats doin the work. I got my name on mine though....not like anybody would steal a bow as plain and drab as mine    

figured the bolts ought to match the limbs

Dislike both myself and have passed on buying bows that had them on. Antler overlays too.......

I like camo....
