The process as I understand it consist of floating the film in a water or some kind of fluid bath and than inserting the stock. The film than comforms to the stock shape.
It's a similiar process to the large decals you see on buses and trucks except that's done with a heating device.
Call Taylor, he's had some done locally.

Thanks for the help guys, I found a company in NY that does it for $55 (stock only) plus shipping. Full guns and bows are priced higher.
One of the guys I shoot with had stock done there and is very pleased with it. The company is Tarjac www.tarjac.com located in Waterloo, NY.
