Bubbabowyer:
Just curious, has anyone ever used longhorn cattle horns as a belly? Boo backed? With a core? If so, how does it perform, behave, and work to tiller? Thanks

DC:
Don't go by me but I've heard that it splits. I've wondered about it because my wife's cousin used to raise longhorns. Beautiful beasts :D

dylanholderman:
I’ve heard the same about cow horn, but I’ve never talked to anyone who actually tested it lol.
There was a bow posted here awhile back that used cow horn and it looked like the belly of a Osage bow, don’t know how it held up though.

I was going to try longhorn for a horn bow but was told by someone who knows that it delaminates. It has growth rings like trees do. I gave the horn to Pappy and he made a hunter's horn out of it.

bownarra:
Don't bother. :)
Sinew makes a better back too :)
