Title: Limbsations
Post by: ESP on December 30, 2020, 11:25:26 PM

Has anyone used limbsations from one stinger?  How did they hold up?  Any feedback?

Thanks

I've had them on two of my bows for two and a half years now and they are holding up good. They're easy to put on. Also it is nice if you get tired of the ones you have on your bow you can peel them off and put on something different. Lots of choices. I have the copperhead snake skins limbsations on my 1972 Bear Super Kodiak, and I have the timber rattlesnake limbsations on my 1990 Bear Kodiak.

i have, i used them on a kodiak mag some yrs. back. they hold up real good. they are pretty tough. i just recently got some for a bow i have been hunting with a couple yrs. i think if you have ugly limbs they are a way to go.

Thanks. I will order a set.  I just got some uukha limbs and the look, well, lifeless. May order the Kuiu Camo version.

I have used them for several years on all my bows and have no complaints.

Yes, very durable,  and that says a lot coming from me. I also use their reflective wraps exclusively on every arrow that I have, which is a lot.

I use their arrow wraps on aluminum arrows.

This pic was taken in 2014 and I have a few more to add since then.  These are some of my kill arrows that I have retired from memorable hunts. Most have One Stringer arrow wraps as do the others I need to add.

I don't use wraps on wood arrows, just aluminum. I just started bowhunting again with aluminum arrows in 2021. I used wood arrows from 1969 to 2020 except for a year in the late 1970s when I used aluminum. The last three years I have been bowhunting with aluminum arrows with pink wraps. Pink is really noticeable in flight for me. All three of these bucks (left to right: 2021, 2022, 2023) I watched my arrows whole flight from the time the arrow left my bow to it hit the buck. All three I knew exactly where my arrow hit on the buck. Wraps work great.  :thumbsup:

Good folks to do business with. Always great service and fast even with custom wraps. Been dealing with them for at least a dozen years now

I can say the same with chartreuse - flow yellow for 3 and a half decades. And that color shows up really well in low light, almost as if its glowing.

I've shot all of them colors and more in the 55 years of bowhunting with traditional gear, and they worked good. You got to use what color works best for you. Bright pink just works best for me.

Here are a few other aluminum arrows of mine I used wraps on. It's great to have so many different colors to choose from.

Yes, it's most important to be able to see your arrow in flight, and hi viz feathers have more than just 1 advantage. The wraps are also valuable in more than 1 advantage.

The Flo yellow wraps with Flo yellow feathers and Flo green nock work the best for me especially in low light conditions. Thinking about the OP limbstations would be IMO a better option than painting shiny limbs for hunting. Removing limbstations would be a lot easier than removing paint if and when it was time to sell the bow.

Wraps may be an option, should I chose to go with Aluminum or Carbon arrows.  They won't work as well with tapered woodies.

Wud, they worked fine on all those carbon arrows on the rack that are tapered, and there's a bunch of them on that rack, and over that many again and again in my house that I practice with and others that have never been quivered that are ready to do battle.

So no worries on wraps and tapered shafts.  :thumbsup:

I'll give them a try.

I used the copperheads on a bow I had, now I see that they have MANY more designs.

I may have to give them a try again.  :thumbsup:

This is their style called Tree Ring.... Pretty nice!

Terry, the Tree Ring pattern is one of the coolest I've seen. Thanks for posting.

I put a set of the copperhead skins on my wife's Bob Lee Signature, and she dearly loves them.

Yes, that would be a great selling veneer if it could actually be done.

There are a lot of good wood and snake patterns they offer. I got impressed by their wraps years ago whey they worked with me on a custom pattern.

I've never used limbsations, but have used dozens and dozends of their wraps. I've even bought the Tradgang cheetah reflective wraps years ago.  Bright wraps have a lot of advantages and Onestringer makes the best.  :campfire:

The buckeye burl and black and white ebony are also great looking!

I also like the Tree Bark Grung....
