Where can I get horn for elb nocks.
« on: January 16, 2021, 05:30:17 pm »
I live  in Michigan and I searched eBay and googled for some horn but honestly I don’t know what I am looking for. I do t even know what type of horn is used. I have never purchased horn and never worked with it. If anyone can point me in the right direction i would greatly appreciate it. I am trying to make an ELB and I feel as though that the horn is a must it’s just so god darn pretty and without it I feel it would be lacking.

I am also in Michigan. I ordered a couple kilos from a guy on Facebook that sells a lot of horn and sinew from Vietnam. If you want to stay local, I know Matt Wirwicki was selling some at least a few years ago.

I don’t necessarily need it to be local just thought maybe there might be someone on here who knows a seller or is a seller. But it is nice to know someone here is from Michigan I am sure there are a bunch more just don’t know anyone or ask.

I think cow horn works fine.  There is a cattle farm up the road from me, I may be able to get some if you want to trade.

Antler works, too.  If you got a hunter buddy who got a buck and doesn't want the antlers >:D (lol)!

 Honestly I need to make more friends that hunt lol. Actually seems like I need to make more friends in general and don’t know much people here that are into archery or hunting. I am very certain there are a bunch here just never got to know any of them. Are there bow making gatherings here in Michigan?

Where in Michigan are you?  Have you heard of the MLA?  I found out about them right as I was leaving the state.  Their Great Lakes Longbow Invitational is a very big deal.

Usually there is a big doings at Marshall, Memorial Day weekend, I think!  Lots of stuff is getting divided out, though.  Keep an eye out for announcements on here.

If we can have Marshall this year pending COVID, remind me and I’ll bring you some horn if I can attend.

I appreciate that will keep an eye out. Also looked up the MLA and found their websites seems like it would be fun to attend.
