Recomendations

[clinglish]

I am planning to have my bows refinished and some minor mods done at the same time.
Has anyone had a bow refinished , if so by whom and would you rekomend them. I was gonna send them back to the states
but with the exchange rate I could buy a new bow cheaper.
cheers

What is it finished with at the moment Clint? Tru oil gives good results if you want to tackle it yourself, as for spray finishes I recomend you get it done by someone who is skilled at using a gun. Steve

Clint, it's not very hard to refinish a bow yourself. Do a search on this site and you will find a couple of threads (probably more) that deal with the subject.

I've refinished about 6 bows over the years. The first one I did was an old Bear Kodiak Magnum and it looked better after the refinishing job than any other Bear bow I've seen, even new ones. There's a thread somewhere on Ozbow showing how I did it.

The beauty of doing it yourself is, not only do you get that smug feeling of having done something yourself, but you know, that regardless of all those little minor bumps and scratches that are a part of life when hunting, you will be able to keep your favourite bow looking like new.

thanks for the responses guys. 2 of the bows are straight forward and I would probably give it a go myself.the others however need a few pounds shaved off as well. I have also bought a new riser for my horne combo and it will need to be matched to the limbs that I already have. these things I am not yet confident enough to tackle on my lonesome.
