I've gone to putting the limb bolts in through the riser into a t-nut in the limb because I think even the bolt head and washer are ugly on a takedown.
 
 

Doug,
I agree.  No snake skins or antler bolts for me.

Don't like snake skins at all. As far as antler bolts, I have them on my Zipper,  but I don't think they look
good on all bows. Just my opinion. God bless.

Well, I have to disagree.  And if we ever meet please just say "Nice bow".  I'm kidding, I love the snake skins and antler bolts on my bow and that's all that matters.

I've had the same take down recurve since high school (early ninties, I know).  A few years ago I decided that since I couldn't buy a new bow I would dress up the one I have.  So I had some antler bolts made and skinned my bow myself.

Now I have the same old bow but I think it's dressed up.  I must also say I appreciate how you worded your opinion.  A similiar topic was started on another sight in regards to take down recurves.  The guy said he "hated" them and thought they were "ugly".  I was offended to say the least.  Everyone has their opinion and I appreciate how you expressed yours.  Thank you sir.

I for one like curves, gnarly nobs and scaly skin, just ask my wife!

I don't prefer snake skin or antler bolts but that's a work of art! Looks kinda prickly though. Does it hurt if you grip it tight?

"Does it hurt if you grip it tight?"  Not at all.  This bow feels great in my hand--the stippling adds to the comfort.  

p.s.  I love the skinned antler bolts that Steve put on my bow.

Ha you got another grumpy ole guy here I don't care for them either. To each his own!

Then you'll just HATE this one Dale Dye with skins  

    What's better than Natures own CAMO!

I do fewer snakeskinned bows than non snakeskinned bows but suspect that some just do not want to pay the price but do like them; I have noticed that the people that do not want snakeskins on a bow are intensly objectionable to them. Not a problem here. I only showed Stryders bow because it had the matching snakeskin on the antler burrs and thought it would be kind of fun considering the title.

No offense meant to anyone and sure hope none taken.
God bless you all, Steve

LOVE THE SKINS, NOT SURE ABOUT THE ANTLER LIMB BOLTS
I guess it's because I have the skins on my Widow  PCH that is cross grain greybark on the inside, and i like the rattler skin much better than i do the greybark

I think they'd go good with a coon tail tied to one tip.
