Native American inspired horn bow

[bosko]

Some more work on the shorty. Yesterday I opened it up a beat.

High-Desert: Thanks, yes it is quite a project and I have limited time to work on it, but man it is cool when I do 

Mafort: I have not tried other horns that water buffalo yet, maybe one day if I am lucky and get some other ones cheap, but from what I heard cow horns are not suitable for bows they tend to separate, but I am just guessing, I do not know for sure. Good luck on your project and post some pictures of your work.

Those are sweet. Horn bows just moved up a bit on my "to do" list

Progress on the shorty, braced and on the tillering stick at 10 inch. It was drawn already to 13 and half inches on the tillering tree and the scale showed 55 pound at 13" draw. The tiller is not perfect by any means, still some more sanding to do here and there and got some twist to remove with heat so that the string aligns in the middle of the handle. I hope it survives the treatment.

I think its looking very good.  Keep up the great work!

Thanks NorthHeart, but yours two look even better  I would love to shoot those pretty beasts of yours, they have gone through so many master bow builderīs hands it is already epic and historical  I am already impatient to test my shorty for speed on the crony.

Excellent. I love looking at these bows.

Would this style of bow be stable if it was 42 inches ntn?
