My old scratched up bow...
« on: March 08, 2007, 01:23:00 PM »
LOOKS DANG GOOD NOW!!!!

My skin-eez arrived today and i went to work  right away. My old passed down BlackHawk "BEE" needed some TLC; shes pretty old. It was my fathers; he got it back in the 50s and paased in onto me. So from the 50s to 2007 its had some run in with a few limbs, drops and so on.

I had wanted to use real snake skin as a backing, but I just couldn't aford them right now. This is a nice afforadable alternative; that transforms a not so attractive bow into a very eye pleasing one.  :scared:  

Give'em a try you can get them at  http://www.skin-eez.com

I just put the copperhead skin-eez on my bow too. Man, that is one beautiful snake. It totally transformed my old bow. Dave, yours looks nearly as sexy as mine.   :bigsmyl:

Good job Dave! That really changed the look of the bow! It seems to be the thing to do now, I've got a couple that I'd like to try as well!
Good job!

anybody notice a difference in performance with the added weight of the vinyl skins?
Was thinking of them myself.
