I'm confused... Did the rules for what constitutes a backed bow change? Or did they change just for this month because there were hardly any laminates posted?
-
There have been some minor changes, but these are all backed under the old rules.
#1 is silk backed
#2 is rawhide backed
#3 is boo backed
#4 is fabric/ fake snake backed

2. Bows backed with soft materials: Rawhide, Sinew, Snake skins, and Cloth backings all fall into the selfbow category.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining, just looking for some clarity is all. :)
-
OK see well, I guess I was confused because I thought silk backs were backed before.
Yes, then. When Cipriano took over and the other changes were made we decided to make a backed bow a backed bow. Sinew, rawhide, silk etc all protect the back and thus are backed bows. Snake skins will be the exception since they are done for looks.
