The best place is local farms, slaughter houses and cattle vets. They tend to have bags and bags of them lying around.

If none are local, eBay is often a good option.  I've had quite a few really nice cow horn tips from eBay, for a couple of pounds each.  You've also got medieval reenactment websites - I've no idea about them in the states but over here they do both sheets of cow horn for arrow inserts and complete horns for various uses.

How many do you need/want?  I have some I might trade.

  I could use about 8 of them. Let me know what we could trade.

I will send a pm tomorrow.  Do you want just the solid tips or whole horns, about 8-9" length?

  All I need are tips, I wouldn't mind buying them outright if we don't have anything to trade.
