Persian Horn Bow

[John Lawson]

I get the water buffalo horn from Peter Cau in the Phillippines.  If you want ordering details etc. please email me.  I'm new to this forum and am not sure if I can give email addresses on this site.

haha, lol.  possibly because im the only one that cant seem to have one shooting well.  they either break, or are too light, as in my first attempt.  ive broken 3 of 3 so far. lol

again, nice bow!

Philippines, that's interesting.  My daughter and her family live in Davao City on the Philippine island of Mindanao and water buffalo horn is quite expensive where they are.  I asked her about it and as I recall she said they only rarely kill or remove the horns from buffalo as they're such an important part of farming and hauling there.  She did bring me a set of very small horns turned into a desk pen holder, but her mother would kill me if I cut them up for a bow.  Maybe it's different on other islands or she just doesn't have the right contact there.

Peter Cau is in Manilla and Yes, it is expensive, delivery is long and you have to keep chasing him.

Ah, I just might save up so when we go visit the kids I can bring a horn back.  And sorry, I meant to say before how nice that bow is, beautiful lines.

Thanks, George

that's a cool bow!

If you want a higher draw weight, just draw further. The limbs' bend is quite mild with your 27" draw.
with your thumb you can easily draw 30" or more. A simple piece of leather around your thumb will offer enough protection until you finish your thumb ring.

Sweet, very nice job on that one.

I like your positive manner boys , but...John, if i dont talked about another truly hornbow aspects  - do you see clearly how looked bash /tip part/ an string position in real hornbow ?From mi position , you 6 month worked on ... horn beli  short reflex bow.

 That is one, pretty bow. But it would perform better , and give us a chance to check the tiller out if you weren't pulling it with four fingers and crank it back another 3". The thumb ring was an excellent suggestion to bring that bow closer to it's maximum potential. At that draw length it's like a Porsche in 3rd gear.
