        Sent my Bama Expi Osage Takedown back to Nate a Bama bows to have it backed with Diamondback Rattlesnake skins, as usual Nate did not disapoint! Love the matte finish and the natural camoflauge look of the skins!

            Rip — For years I turned my nose up at skins, and darned if I know why. More recently I’ve put them on two Shrews and had them right in the faces of many elk and deer and never once did glare cause a problem. Skins are great camo, so long as they’re not covered with a glossy finish. My favorite is cottonmouth, but diamonback is also gorgeous. While I’m sure you can abuse a bow sufficiently to cause the skins to start flaking off, I’ve not had that problem. It’s a big investment, either in time and labor, or money, but worth it for a bow you consider a keeper. Nice pics, nice bow. Dave

                Wow, you got that back fast…and it looks GREAT! They’ll make the bow shoot straighter as well!

                  Shot it outdoors yesterday was shooting some real tite groups with it! Tues is my indoor shooting nite so it will be a true test at longer distances! I started shooting with a Cavalier Elite tab, absolutly love it, tried other tabs but didn’t like them much! Nick had this one at his house, tried it out it was like I was shooting with one all my life really smooths out your release!
