I had Bob Morrison skin my last one.  He did an excellent job without breaking the bank.  He also seems to have cornered the market on Copperhead skins.  Morrison Archery is a sponser here.

I'm thinking that the bow Mike is referencing is the one he made for me, and Bob did do a great job with the Copperhead skins. Snakewood3, also a sponsor here, recently applied some Copperhead skins on an Osage bow of mine. Beautifully done.

Charles Sinclair aka snakewood3.

 Also, I believe semo-hunter advertised that he does it and he is sponsor.

Another vote for Bob Morrison!

Bob is the best.  Schafer bows does a good job too.  He has done a few for me too.  But I have done 10 bows myself.  Easy to do.  Good luck.

PM me and will send you instructions I have shared many times...or just search for Sneaky Snake or something similar here for older threads.  I have done it a dozen times using this process...no need to pay someone else just take your time and follow the steps.
