I backed my little recurve with fabric snake skin. I used Bow grip from Rudder bows. Turned out pretty good. I have pics on the (FIRST RECURVE) post. Pretty easy to do.

I have used both the rattlesnake and copperhead, both look pretty darn good in my opinion. I think the rattlesnake looks a little more realistic, but both look nice. Main thing is, don't judge it by what it looks like when you pull it out of the package. It looks much better once applied with a finish over it. I used TBIII and a satin clear over it. I have a pic on my phone, would be happy to text or email photo if you're interested just drop me a PM.

I put cloth snake skin on my recurve using bowgrip from Rudders. I also used bowgrip to coat the skin as a finish, looked great but after shooting a while it cracked across the limb about every 1/8"  in the workin gpart of the limb.
