Elk Horn bows

<< < (2/2)

Hillbilly:
I remember reading in Reginald Laubin's American Indian Archery book about his tribulations building  an elk horn bow, and he pretty much concluded that it wasn't really worth the trouble-apparantly elk antler is pretty brittle. He made a couple sheephorn bows that turned out good, and he was thinking the same as Trapper, some of the "elk horn" bows were probably actually caribou antler.

episaacs:
Look up Bob Thompson if you're near Ravenswood.  He's made some really nice ones.
