Limbskins
« on: July 25, 2007, 11:45:00 PM »
I used to have camo tape on my longbow's limbs because without something like that it gives of a lot of glare(from the fiberglass)but the ends of the tape started fraying so I just pulled it all off and and used goo-gone to get the sticky stuff of its limbs. And I was wondering if anybodys uses limbskins or bow socks as they're called in three rivers. If so do you like them and do they look good on your bow, I just thought about buying some because I don't want to use tape again.

Robert, I would use the limb skins. They look awsome. I think they are #1 in quality. I don't use them but they are used by alot of tradgangers.

They work great Robert.I use them as much to protect the finish on my bow as for reducing glare.Good product.

I just got some of the tiger stripe ones to reduce the glare. They are made of spandex, which itself is somewhat "shiney." So I plan on rubbing some dirt on it when I get to my hunting spot. The "longbow" version is slightly too big for my 3 piece pronghorn... it fits and works, but is a little baggy on the limbs.  

That said, they are super simple to use, and I haven't noticed that they effect bow performance at all. And they are fairly cheap too. I'd recommend them.
Directions: Hike, camp, hunt, fish, wash, rinse, repeat.

OK, for those of you using limbskins... do you find they affect arrow speed or aim point compared to not having them on the bow...

Thanks a bunch guys for the suggestions I'll probably get some from three rivers in the pin-oak pattern for when deer season rolls around.
