If it comes to that I will. I think I read somewhere that there is an artificial substitute and I see that antler ones are cheaper than buffalo on some websites.

Hmm... interesting idea. I'll check out it in nearby pet shop. Just to be clear, what I am looking for, in what shape horn comes? Also, is it that not too hard for chewing haha?
FilipT:
I will continue today and try to brace it. These past few days didn't have time so I haven't even tried to do anything.
FilipT:
Ok, so definitively couldn't brace it. Strength was not a problem but the fact that every string I used as a stringer stretched. I have some belt and I thinking of making a good stringer from it. But I don't know how I could attach it to bow tips. I saw little pockets that are sewn and I am not sure would high force rip off that sewing. Any ideas?

It comes as a horn. We get Water Buffalo here. They are from young animals I think, They are about 6"(15cm) long. About $7 Canadian.
