So, any word from BOM ?

Sturgeon is a backed bow? Like using a large constrictor snake on backing?

"2. Bows backed with soft materials:  Rawhide, Sinew, and Cloth backings all fall into the Backed Bow category."~ I have only used sturgeon skin one time and it was thicker and stronger than any rawhide I've ever used....but yes, I've also used some big snakes like Boa that were are strong as any rawhide.
Seems like common sense isn't very common any more...

Yeah, I thought it was like Rawhide but have seen them in Selfbow class Bob. I have caught small sturgeon and ate some smoked stuff but never skinned one.

I've always entered my rawhide and sturgeon backed bows into the backed category and if it's just snakeskin I put them in selfbow. I definitely think that sturgeon is as tough as good rawhide.
