About This Product

Rawhide bow backing is essential for anyone shooting traditional bows regularly. The natural material bonds with your bow’s limbs during application, creating a protective layer that prevents the hairline cracks and splinters that can develop from repeated stress. This is especially important for wooden bows or high-draw-weight recurves where limb stress is greatest.

The 36-inch length works perfectly for most recurve bows and shorter longbows. If you’re building a bow from scratch or restoring a vintage piece, these rawhide backings give you professional-grade protection. Remember to avoid hot water during application – room temperature water works better and won’t damage the rawhide’s natural properties.

Serious Archery specializes in traditional archery equipment that serious bowhunters and target archers rely on. Whether you’re maintaining a family heirloom bow or protecting your newest recurve, proper backing is an investment in your equipment’s longevity.

Application Notes

Important: Do not use hot water during application. Room temperature water allows for proper bonding and prevents damage to the rawhide material.
