That snakeskin Excaliber that was raffled at Boofest last year was the wickedest, badest assed Excaliber ever. Having said that and it being said to have been a "one of " I would like to have a wickeder, bader asser skull camo Excaliber. However since I had a tough time trying to post last evening and the suggestion of alligator has since came up I think that would be pretty slick.

It's all about personal Boo, mine will be ether ASAT which was my first choice, but I am now leaning towards Predator Fall Gray,,,,,,, but like you I want it to be my personal flavor, so I am sure whatever you get you will like, who cares what anybody else likes when it our own custom bow,,,,, :wink:

I been looking at and thinking about this toad pattern to, but mainly because I am pretty confident no one else has a crossbow in this pattern!!! I would certainly choose it over a gator pattern,,,,,, :wink:

Hey outback that Gator camo sounds cool as all get out too- I know Ted Nugent used to shoot an Onidea Eagle compound bow with a zebra pattern of blk and white on his bows back in the late 80's or 90's. I always thought that would scare the crap out of the Deer didn't seem to hurt any at all by some of the animals that were taken with that bow...

I like the Excalibur snow camo offered on the 380. If the Micro was offered in that, I would own three Micro's..

Or the Realtree AP Snow camo is awesome.

Was my first choice for a new project I am getting ready to do. However after talking to a very highly respectable hydrodipping firm, and a rep of an archery company, they both talked me out of it!! Seems all camo film is not the same, and they both have quit using the film for smaller items such as limbs and quivers in this pattern because of the unacceptable, or less than desirable results it many times gives. I was then going to do the Predator camo in Fall Grey, again they let me know it has a higher than acceptable rate of not performing on archery equipment. So I finally decided to go with the Predator 3D Deception, they both claim stellar results with the finish this pattern leaves for archery parts.

I think the problem is with the smaller parts it can leave some areas way more solid than most customers will accept, and they have little control over the film they get and are not willing to redo parts till acceptable results are given. I like knowing a company will tell me this upfront and not just do it and tell me later. They will do it but it's pattern results are on me. That is why I will be going with the 3D Deception. The bow manufacturer will not even do their own in those patterns anymore because of the redo difficulties it brings.

The company I will be having do my project is,,,,
