From a 14' python from 1954. Stashed in a cardboard tube from an estate sale. Most of the skin was moldy,cracked. But I salvaged enough for my youngest's bow.

If you're not a very good snake hunter, where would be the best place to buy one.  Thinking a copperhead.

I couldn't find anyone handy so decided to do it myself.  I am just finishing up the job on my limbs.  I just have a few finish coats to add.  It really isn't very hard to do.  There is a tutorial in the "How To" Forum.  I was able to buy skins off of the classified section on Bow Making supplies here.

A lot of people use the snake skins for camo but a word of caution if using a bow with exposed snake skins for turkey hunting.  A friend of mine who is an experienced turkey hunter was using a self bow with snake skins and the turkey went into a complete alarm on more than one occasion while he was hunting on the ground.  When he covered the limbs, no more alarms.

Something think about.

Most you see here ARE real BUT ... if advertised in the classifieds be sure and ask the question. I didn't and got a nice bow, advertised with skins, but actually had vinyl stick-ons. Needless to say I was quite disappointed. Kept the bow though and sold it later.

Great looking bows, guys. love the skins and will someday have at least one done.
