Just picked up an Elburg Falcon. 64", 64# @28, marked with BH 6 1/4. It's backed with snakeskin which is starting to peel at tips and edges. Came across it on the big auction site and put a bid in thinking I'd never win....well...I did. So, it needs a string, looks like Elburg designed these for FF, true? What's the best way to reglue the snake skin. It's pretty slick looking from the pics. Also, thoughts on this bow? I've been wanting to try a more traditional long bow than my semi-recurve bear polar and hope this is going to be a good candidate. Thanks For Any help!!

These are nice shooting bows. Not speed demons, but GREAT shooters IMHO. I have a lefty and righty.

I don't believe they are built for FF.

I’ve had two, and yes, they’re fine with fast flight. I would remove the snakeskin and clean up with alcohol — it’s just dead weight on the limbs. If you want to Reggie, try Barge cement after soaking in water.

if the edges just need stuck back down, put on some nitrite gloves and use a little super glue around the edges... when finished you can wipe the skins down, in the direction of the scales, and put a coat of poly on them after it dries...

Thanks guys. Found a short thread on these here on the wall with a catalog advertising FF coming with this bow , so I'm sure I'm good there. Gotta wait and see what the snake skin looks like when it gets here...if it's now bad, I'll probably try to reglue it, other words I'll rip it off...

BowAholic for the skins --exactly. Don't see any overlays that would lead me to believe it was fast flight ready but many use it anyway. >>>----> Ken

Fast flight not a problem.
