mullet:
  How about horn backed Eastern Red cedar for excitement.Takes me back to my blasting days playing with nitro. ;)

Justin Snyder:
How about a decibel contest. We will see who can make the loudest boom.  ;D I think if I put 2 layers of sinew on the back and a heavy horn belly, It will get up in weight before it blows.  Anybody want to draw it for me.  ::) Justin

PeteC:
Eddie, I hear you on the ERC.Tuesday before last I had one explode into 3 pieces,and my ears rang all day!

oak:
Hey Justin I'll draw it for ya.  And I'm in GA so all dem Florida boys can come up and watch.  Last time I checked my draw was right about 32" so it would be a good test.  I've been out of archery for awhile and am trying to get back in, man I miss having gear, but that is half the fun of being interested in making my own.  That and I've always wanted to do a horn composite.  Send it out this way we'll get it on film and I'll be sure to were those safety glasses for once 8) ::)

There's probably not much that can equal the explosion of a horn bow xept maybe a horn warbow.
