What type of leather should I use on my checks? I bought soft deer skin,then wondered if I need a heavier action leather?

Doe skin is to soft you need the roughness of leather for back checks, Doe skin is good for rollers (notches)But would not last long on back checks

You can buy from fletchers However, there are quite a few supply houses in the US who would sell it cheaper as you would have to pay shipping for the UK

This is what you need

cat 928D you can get a 2 strip rather than a full skin

Barrie,

All the best for the new year
