Depends on who wants to buy the bow. I think it should add to the bow. I would say most trad shooters like snake skins.

Also depends on how nice the skins look. I personally think a nice skin job would add value. m2c. Gilbert

if you can make them look like they were put on at the factory I bet you won't loose a dime vs. what it would have sold for without them.....i think they key here is craftsmanship....no matter how nice and pretty the skins are.

If they are done by Morrison, they definitely add value.  However, I've seen poorly installed skins that simply ruined the sale for me.

I sold a Black Widow with skins.  It didn't devalue the bow and it didn't add value, but it did take me longer to sell the bow.  Seemed like potential buyers were wondering what the skins were hiding.

You could always use Those limb skins By Arrow wraps unlimited (sponser) I and then they are removable.
