Your answer to why small mammal skins dont fit.

I was setting petting the house cats, did you realize on the standard house cat the back skin will slide from 4 to 6 inches forward of backward and still have 2-3 inches slack in girth.

So I looked at the barn dog, same thing, even the horses have live slack skin.

So where does everyone go wrong and have small game that dont fit the mannikin? Could it be the stretching longways? Several years back I started ordering forms that were about 2 to 3 inches shorter than the measurements. Well I nolonger have the trouble of none fitting forms.

Next time you have the cat handy try the above and see for your self.
