I feel kinda bad now...
« on: January 26, 2010, 08:03:00 PM »
Today, I scratched my Savannah. I put on a new rest, and it had some leather hanging over the shelf. Like an idiot, I said, "Hey! I bet some sandpaper would take care of that!"   :knothead:  Because of my awesome sanding skills, I now have a scuff on my bow. I put some Tru Oil on it like I did my recurve last week but the perfectionist in me is saying I'm an idiot and just ruined a very nice bow. Do any of you get like that or am I being to anal?

Nah, just the clear coat but you can see wher I got it, it's all shiny, and then it's kinda dull in that area.

I wouldnt worry about it one bit, now its broke in and you want babby it. Now take it out and get deep in the brush with it.

Bows that are used kill more game than ones that are taken special care of. Hunt with that sucker and get it bloody.

Do you think it'll stand out from the rest of the finish? I'd say the normal finish is kind of satiny. It's not real shiny, but you can definitly see the sun off of it.

The scratch is on the grip? If so, just put on a Sur-Grip and it will be covered. I have a Sur-Grip on my Savannah and it works great - especially when the weather is warm or when it's raining.

Did you but it to use or look at? If you bought it to use, that probably won't be the only scratch you ever see on it.
