I'd love to see how they are cut from the palm, I find a lot of moose antlers in Maine. Man, if I could ever draw a tag up there...

Here are a few of my Hoot's recurve that I call "Chocholate Moose"! Lee has some of the tips and maybe he can chime in here and add a few!

Lee you need to call that antler thumb rest a "Kicker Point"...of coarse you need to add that to your Add On's list to make it official! Now I didn't get that Add On but then again I didn't want to over do the " Moose Bling Bling"  :D  
    God Bless,
           Keefer's <")))><
