Here they are bamboo backed hickory with snake skin 65 tip to tip 55 @ 26, and a sinew backed hickory 70 tip to tip 55 @ 26  The sinew/ hickory has made meat 3 times in the past.

Cool looking bows.  I like the wrappings on the back of both of them.

Nice bows, I just felt like I should be stalking something just looking at them.

Nice looking bows. What do you have wrapped around the limbs? Looks like a Meare Heath bow. Are the wrappings decorative, or functional?

They are sort of functional. Kind of a safety feature if the sinew or bamboo starts to lift, but I thought it made them look kind of cool to.
