Moose Antler Thumb Ring
« on: March 19, 2011, 11:32:49 pm »
Hey,
Hows everyone doin? Haven’t been on here for a long time. During last fall hunting season I found a moose antler, it’s a smaller paddle, 5 points, a good 2.5 inches across the base and would fit in about a foot and a half square. Sorry no pictures of it, I really need a digital camera. I want to make a shaft straighter, a few pressure flakers, a billet from the base and a thumb ring out of it. I need some advise on how to make a thumb ring though. I have only seen a few pictures of them so I’m not too sure of how to go about makin one. I didn’t want to start to cut the antler until I know how to make the thumb ring. I’m presuming that you make the ring out of the base of a tine that is larger then your thumb, right? Any pictures or advise of how to make the ring would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?
