Thanks bud, I will do that for sure. Of course, one of my dream hunts is for a big horn ram of some kind. I know I would have to get into a lot better physical shape but wouldn't it be awesome to make a bow from a ram and then maybe kill one with that same bow. Hey a guy can dream can't he? Thanks again, Patrick

wizardgoat:
I agree! We have a few species of sheep in BC. A friend has hunted a few, and he laughed in my face when I offered him cash for a set of horns.  Theyre amazing animals, watching them scale mountain sides is insane.

lebhuntfish:
They are amazing that is for sure! I've seen 2 in my life in person. I stopped in the road once and could have poked him with a stick as he walked in front of the truck. All I thought when I pointed my finger at it and said "bang"  was one day and buddy one day! Patrick

Parnell:
Lookin' good, I hope it turns out for you.  Did you do anything with kicking the string nocks forward to help them stay on at full draw?

Redhand:
That is going to be a sweet horn bow.  Good job Wizard.  If i read your post right you are at 5 layers of sinew, you should be well at the 50 pound draw weight.  I just finished up a elk horn bow I had two layers of leg tenon sinew and a final layer of back sinew for 3 layers total and I'm right at 44 pounds.  Your horn bow is turning out very nice.
