What type of horn did you use?

Great job Bub....A real bute.Done a few of those myself here.Usually stiff handled bows.Usually takes me 2.5 to 3 months to finish one like that,but they'll be around a long time.Lots of reflex.They do hit hard for sure,and you bet it's nice to use a stringer....lol.I did'nt catch the length on that one.Surprisingly they do come in mass weighing under the standard mass weight for their length.

Broken arrow its gemsbok horn and the only problem with it that i can figure out is it is narrower than waterbuff horn so you are limited on that

Thanks Ed, i think it's 46" ttt and i think all packaged up it only weighed 14oz

Yea that's nice Bub.I just mentioned that because I've heard it conjectured that because of the composite materials people can think they weigh more that a wood alone bow.Not trying to start a controversy here.It's just a fact I've seen for myself first hand.

Guess that answers as to whether a horn/wood/sinew bow can be made without being bent like a crab when it is unstrung. That thing is crazy sexy. Bet it has a sting, too....not just pretty!
