snakeskin/wood choice? help!
« on: February 15, 2010, 07:58:00 PM »
I'm getting close to ordering a new longbow soon and I love the look of snakeskins but am having a very hard time figuring out what combo of wood and skin to go with, there are so many different sweet ways to go. Wondering if some of you fine gents out there would mind posting some pics of bows with different skin/wood combos. thanks
Love the Lord, love your wife and kids, work hard, hunt harder
