medicinewheel:

thanks ralph!

Hillbilly:
Seems like someone wrote an article in PA a couple years ago about fish skin backings. I think one was gar, and he named the bow "Greta Garbow"  :)

gpw:
Gar skin would be best suited to making a primitive quiver, you'd never run out of arrowheads...We made a few in the past , looked cool ...a handfull of dried grass kept the arrows from rattling around...

Titan_Bow:
interested to see if anyone has any pics of a bow backed with gar skin.  When I lived in GA we used to shoot them alot, but never thought about saving them for bowbackings.    I would think the smaller ones, which seem to have much more spots ans coloration, would look really nice on a bow.

i was out fishing with my dad in a narrow 12'' johnboat in the southwest creek in jacksonville n.c. and we hit a gar that allmost flipped us over. we had a 5hp motor and when the front of the boat hit the gar we thought we hit a log.the boat went out of the water and whne the motorhit the gar it flipped up clean out of the water,scarred the you know what out of us.i live in the mnts of n.c. now but id love to go chase some of those big gar.  bobby
