OK, so I guess they are European Ibex?  Ibex were the number one source of horn for medieval composite crossbows so I would have to say they would make amazing bows but I believe they are a protected species having become nearly extinct at one point

Aaron H:
Egyptians used ibex in their angular horn bows

Aaron H:
I believe the Scythian's also used ibex horn

Taxus brevifolia:
They sure look like they'd work!
