Also, I'm interested in these Chuck Loeffler videos you speak of.

Its tough to find a good set of horns from dall sheep, stone sheep, or big horns. 
They will cost a fortune or most of them now are being plugged by the wild life division.

$45 a set. That's 1/10 th of what a good deal on real bighorns cost. Will you use a core to keep twist out or horn sinew only?

A guy I know that builds horn bows uses a ‘drying frame’ for his horns so the twist become less evident. So I’m gonna go that route first with just sinew. And the second set will probably end up on my Tatar belly.
