another snake skin question
« on: March 24, 2012, 12:46:00 AM »
What direction should theskins be applied on a recurve? Meaning should  
A. The head of the snake start at grip and the tail run to the tip?
B. The head start at the tip with the tail end at the grip?
C. Should head start at one tip and the tail end at the other?

if it's long enough to cover from tip to tip it really don't matter I guess. If I'm using two skins (one on each limb) I start head end at grip and tails to the tips. I think most folks do it this way.

It really doesn't matter.  Its personal preference only.  I have taken two skins and put the head of one at the top and the tail of the other at the bottom.  Just another option...

I decided to go with the head toward the grip and tail toward the tip.
Thanks, Mike
