Here is a site with info.

  http://www.primitiveways.com/pt-composite_bow.html  

Pick up Bowyer's Bible II, Dr. Bert Grayson has an aswome chapter on composite bows.

Also, American Indian Archery by Reginald Laubin is a great ref. for Indian style horn bows.

Visit  www.Hornbow.com (http://www.Hornbow.com)

Peter has selling horn for a long time.  I have never purchased from him, but here is his site.
