Backing for Soma Saker I

arutha · 09-02-10, 10:06 PM

Does anyone know where I can buy backing for a Large Soma Saker I tab. I can buy the faces but not the backing.
I'm fairly handy and could probably make something but it would save a lot of time if someone knows who stocks them.

Cheers!

I use a standard face material as a backing, and purple oberon as a face. works well. found the original backing too thin.

I got a spare backing for the Soma from Clickers Archery.

Same as me, great minds and all that!!!

Oberon makes a very good backing for a cordovan face. It is what I use.

Unfortunately, after taking my order, the folks at Clickers have emailed me to say they have not got any in stock (can't get it anywhere) :-(
I got some purple and grey Oberon to try from Arrowhead. I have used the purple as a face and the old cordovan face as backing. It feels amazing after a few practice shots in the garage but I'll get to club this evening and try it out properly.

Thanks again. Will keep you posted.

Just back from the club a bit early. I've twisted my lower back a couple of days ago and an old man of nearly 40 should have more sense BUT everything went really well with the purple Oberon face and old face as backing.

Cheers for all the help!!!!
