Another kudo horn nocked bow
« on: December 28, 2013, 06:46:51 pm »
I really like these horns for nocks. They come out looking like glass, and they work softer and easier than buffalo horn. I wish you could find more of them, I can't find no more though for sale any where. Plus, most of em were too small to use. These are on a bamboo backed ipe bow, 47# or so at 28".







It's crazy how you can see through them:





Here's the rest of the bow sort of, no fulldraw, sorry,  :-[.

Will do. You don't know a good US based source do you?

As others have said, you really have this style of horn nock figured out! 

Can I ask for clarification on what species of animal the horn came from?  Kudu have those lovely double helix twisted horns, but every image I have seen has black horn.

Thanks yall. I ordered these from a factory in Israel that makes shofars. I don't know exactly what species they are though, other than kudo, I believe they are kudo anyway? I guess these are the tips they cut off before they make the mouth piece.

Oh, ok.  One image I came across when I was searching online for kudu horns was a shofar.  Must be like our pronghorn antelope with white tips on the black horn.  In case I ever hunt kudo, I will keep the tips for an ELB!

(A shofar is a trumpet made from the horn of any member of the bovidae family except a cow.  Useful in battle should you come up against any walled city known as Jericho.)

Shouldn't have told me.  Now I got to go look for kudo horn. ;D

Looks great, I am getting ready to try to make some out of water buff horn if my ELB survives
