Did Your Skin-Eez Survive Hunting Season?

For those of you who applied Skin-Eez prior to this season- Did it survive and still look good on your bows?

Mine are still on, but faded where the string slides on the top limb from stringing the bow. I'll probably take 'em off when I get around to putting my new string on.
...stood alone on a montaintop, starin out at a great divide, I could go east, I could go West, it was all up to me to decide, just then I saw a young hawk flyin and my soul began to rise......

Mine held up very well for what I have put them through. The only place they faded were at the back of the handle (I applied them the whole lenght of the back). I hunted over 90 days with them and have had them on since mid-july. Overall I was impressed with them and plan to put on a new set for 2007. I hunted in the heat/cold and rain/snow and in a lot of thick stuff including a 10 day stretch in Colorado's dark timber where it rained everyday. I am positive they saved alot of scratches to my limbs.

Do they wrap all the way around the bow or are they only wide enough for the back?
I've been looking into them for a while but couldn't find anyone around me who has used them.
Do they have any shine to them or are they more of a matte finish?
I'm leaning towards the banded water snake pattern.

Thanks for any info

Just like anything else if you use them alot and put certian things through more ware and tare than others those spots will ware down faster. These are not a permanent fix but more of a long term cosmetic make over. As for the shine, the first set we came out with did have a gloss finish but, now the are dulled 60% more now. These wraps are made for 1 side and do not wrap around the limb. You can get 2 sets and do both sides of the limb. I hope all the best to all of you for 2007.

A great product and a perfect way to avoid having limbs all scratched up (especially for those with eye-candy limbs, lol). Very attractive at a reasonable price. Easy to apply, stay on the limb with no lift, and very durable. I hunted with them all of November (nearly every day) and expereinced no fading whatsoever. I will be using them on all of my hunting bows from now on out.
