Cool, how does the bottom one shoot? Deerhunter, I got mine from a guy in Vietnam. Very good to deal with, got the horn a week from when I contacted him. With shipping to Canada it cost about $25 Can a strip. He's on Facebook. He answered me within 5 min when I contacted him. PM me if you want more info.

I'll string a few and take some pictures and check the specs. It's been a while since I went through these.
I got my horns from an American man (forum member) who went to Thailand regularly. It's been a while since I contacted him but I need some more now. I'll try and find his details again.
The bottom one shoots really well. It is one of my favourites, about 55# @29. It's better with slightly heavier arrows and a long drawlength, I think it shoots 10gpp around 190 but this is from memory.

Russell, James Parker(huntworthyproductions) has horn in many configurations from whole horn to slats. He is a PA sponsor. If you come to the Tenn Classic next year he will be there with horn and some of his horn bows. James in very generous with information if needed.
