Here’s a wiggly Osage with a pair of bullsnakes I made this spring.

Very cool looking bow!
Just don't lay it on the ground...somebody might want to kill it.

Bullsnakes are one of my favorite patterns.

Terry - are you having Jim Neaves build you a new bow or skinning an existing bow?

Nice Terry!

Jim just about has me talked into a Triple Carbon Elite longbow. If I go that route, I'll have him back it with snakeskins. His work is amazing.

Yes McClean, he surly does.  Lots of talent in the Sponsors here.

Here's a better pic of the Prairie Rattler.

Yes, yes it does.  I was thinking about Timber Rattler on the next one, but he said he gets more grey skins than the 'goldish n rust' ones we have around here....

Grey examples.......





Gold and Rust examples.....







And here's one more of my Prairie Rattler....

it is against the law to kill snakes in WV. I wonder what the game warden would say if he checked a guy and he had snake skins on his bow? Might have a hard tine explaining it.

Don't know, I don't hunt WV.

I wouldn't worry about it if I did hunt WV. It also wouldn't be hard to explain either.

I really like the ones in the top left pic.

I'm a sucker for nice snakeskins on a bow.

This is a very interesting thread.  You guys are all into the Trad stuff I can tell.  Hope others post more snake bows. That reminds me, I have to learn how to  properly add photos that are always right side up!  :knothead:

Here is a recent re-skin of prairie rattlers on my longbow. The prairie rattler pattern fits a bit better on the narrow limbs than the previous diamondback skins. As long as I was refinishing the bow I tried my hand at drawing a bit.
