By now we all know this 'before'

After

Some Satin from the spray can

These are the Arrow Wraps Canebrake skins from a sponsor here. May not be the real thing; but rattlers are hard to come by this time of year even in California. LOL! I will let you know how they stand up to hunting conditions.

Sure looks good, but I'm afraid it would just scare the crap out of me every time I went to pick it up!

How heavy are those compared to real skins?Has anybody tested performance before and after?I know I,ve asked about skins and bow speed before and yea I know it would only be a few fps for real skins I was just wonderin if the vinal was heavier and would take even more away than a few fps.

By the way it looks real nice I,m only askin cause I like the look and was thinkin of doing something along those lines.It'd be nice on my Hatfield for sure

I didn't notice any performace difference after putting mine on. There very thin. Of course I didn't do any before after true tests either.

I have the real skins that Adam used for some of his canebrake skin-eez and the real skins will weigh many times more than his great product. The skin eez shouldn't effect speed any more than another coat of finish would.

They really look like the real thing.How durable are they and how is the adhesion on the wraps?

Bjorn · « **Reply #9 on:** January 03, 2007, 04:13:00 PM »

Those are the key questions, aren't they? They look great after one day LOL!!
I will be very interested to see how they are this time next year, and promise to post a pic ;-).

adeeden · « **Reply #10 on:** January 03, 2007, 04:19:00 PM »

I have had mine on since July, I put them the full length of my recurve. The only problem area I have had is that they have faded at the back of the handle (from hand wear when carrying my bow). No rips/tears/ or frays and I have put them through alot heat/cold/rain and snow! I will be replacing them for 2007 though for the price they give you good limb protection from scratches and scrapes.

BMOELLER · « **Reply #11 on:** January 03, 2007, 05:26:00 PM »

Bjorn, are they real glossy? Why did you ut the satin spray on them? Looks very realistic. I'm thinking of getting some.

Bjorn · « **Reply #12 on:** January 03, 2007, 07:05:00 PM »

They are glossy and I don't want to call unneeded attention to myself in the woods. Also, satin will hide a multitude of sins; these 'skins' look pretty darn good and are very easy to apply. Unless you have the bow in your hands you likely would not know the difference. None the less, I am having a second set of limbs made by Morrison and he is putting the real thing on those.

Izzy · « **Reply #13 on:** January 03, 2007, 07:55:00 PM »

how much material do they give you.wan to put them on my zipper extreme to keep from scratching the limbs carp shooting this spring.

Adam Mooney · « **Reply #14 on:** January 03, 2007, 08:12:00 PM »

This product comes in a set of 2" X 36" I dont recomend putting it on the handle area. This will wear down just like adeedens bow. I would say Limbs only if you want them to last. These are a long term temporary cosmetic touch to add to your bow. With some protection qualities to them as well. As for the gloss we have gotten them to the dullest we can without spraying a matte clear on them. They come more as a satin finish then a true matte. Please if you guys have any questions call me or shoot me an email

I put a set of the copperheads on my bow last spring. After a summer of tournaments and the entire deer season the only wear that mine shows is at the upper portion of the top limb. Now, this is not a fault of the product but a fault of mine. This is the spot where my stringer rests when stringing/unstringing so it has ate up the edges. I was wondering could you possibly use some spray urethane over them to make them just as durable as if you had went through the trouble of putting on the real thing?

Kevin Lawler · « **Reply #16 on:** January 03, 2007, 08:29:00 PM »

I'm not easily impressed. But I must say they are very realistic looking.

Jreyna920 · « **Reply #17 on:** January 03, 2007, 08:37:00 PM »

are they textured... those look real nice

Adam Mooney · « **Reply #18 on:** January 03, 2007, 09:58:00 PM »

They are flat and you can can put a clear over them.

Bjorn · « **Reply #19 on:** January 03, 2007, 10:39:00 PM »

Wow! I'm even more impressed now that I hear how long folks have had these on their bows. This application is not meant to compete with a 200 dollar Copperskin snake job by Morrison, Ted Fry, OL
and perhaps others. IMO
At the same time it is way better looking than many snake jobs I have seen, with faded and uneven patterns; (some of them are even on my own bow racks! LOL!!) and I did this job myself from start to finish in an evening, in between cooking dinner etc.
