 Wow you got a lot of curl there to deal with, you might end up cutting some length off like chuck said, you did a good job getting the kinks out. Keep posting picks and we will try and help when u get stuck.

I've got to post of photos of the horn Jackson.  I'm starting to think I'm pressing 'em a bit much for what I'm hoping to get out of 'em.

Think maybe I developed a "rip" in the horn...not sure.  Might be asking a bit much out of 22-23" horns...

I know it's not 'authentic' but if you want to get a bow out of these horns with less chance of failure I personally would use a wooden core to glue them to. If you do it the same way as Turkish bows eg. a thick core then the horn (less stiff than wood) will conform to the shape of the wood. If you did it this way then you could easily get a full draw bow out of them. It would all depend on the horns current dimensions.
Have you got Adam's book? If so I don't need to try and explain more!
