Thanks for the info. Gentleman. I am planning to put pronghorn tips I made on the bow if it should make it that far. Considering this is my first English warbow and using a wood I know nothing about, I am very cautiously optimistic of the outcome. In other words, I don't want to put fancy tips on firewood. However, should it survive that long, how many strands do you recommend with horn nocks ? Thanks again, Josh
