Horn for nocks
John K:
When you guys talk about using horn, do you uae just the tip or the whole horn and just cut pieces from it ???
Also how big do they need to be, I could probably get a buch 8-10 inches :o
Justin Snyder:
Dan, I have some bison horn. They are rough, but you are going to shape and sand them anyway. Send me a PM if you are interested. Justin
sagitarius boemoru:
Former butcher - with cattle you can use only tip which is solid. With black buff there is much more solid stuff on the horn, which I cut in pieces and use as if it was tips...
Jaro
Justin Snyder:
Like Jaro said, the true buffalo have more solid horn. American bison are not true buffalo. There horn is like cattle, the tip is all that can be used for tips. There is a lot of thick horn that can be used for tip overlays or arrow nocks. Justin
cowboy:
I gather them up where I hunt. Old rancher de-horns every year or two, grabbed about twenty sets last time - will keep my eyes and ears open for the next batch. Maybe offer them up for trade or something.
