All you guys killing the rattlesnakes keep in mind that the guys that make longbows themselves would love to have the skin or even a frozen carcass. They make beautiful backings on the bow limbs.
Don't think I've ever seen a longbow that was rattle snake skinned - got any pics?
I don't have pictures but Google does. I've seen some though and they are beautiful. I imagine you can get a bowyer that would make you one in exchange for some good skins. I traded Bamboo for mine.
Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.
