I cheat and use 2 mm Kydex sheet. It's just for looks, though, because all my bows so far have been in the 30-35 pound range. I wonder how Kydex would hold up to warbow weights. It ends up looking just like horn.

If kydex is the same as plastic styrene for model making it works well, some prefer it for regular warbow arrows as its more reliable than buffalo horn. I use 2" long  thick slices of tapered cow horn for mine ( 2mm at the slot shelf and 3-4mm at the nock), rock steady and I really like the look.
Nice job on the arrow inserts  8),
