Now comes the hard part, at least for me -- patience -- while it dries. Looks really good.
Jesus replaces the old covenant and speaks to the believer the moral code of God by His Spirit directly to the heart. He is the eternal, everlasting revelation of God to mankind. In Him is both the knowledge of righteousness and the power to live right.

not sure how you feel about snake skins but I think these would look nice with that newly colored riser

I covered a set of ILF target limbs about 15 years ago. I can't remember if I used limbskins or that roll of camo you could buy back then. After a while the edges got thin and the durability was not bad, but not great either. I don't think I paid that price and now that I think about it, I seem to remember having to trim the edges, so this was not limbskins I used.

With all the different widths of limbs, how do these look on different bows? Do they rely upon your neat trimming abilities? I would think the edges would hold up better than what I once used.

I have considered them. A guy I know up north of me kills a few copperheads on his farm yearly. If I ever do it, I'd go that route.

Added another coat tonight. Sanded a few spots lightly prior to. Looking pretty good so far. Hopefully I can finish this up in a few days.
