Title: Where to Find Antler Buttons
Post by: Whip on February 09, 2013, 10:21:00 AM
I am putting together a youth workshop for the Tannehill shoot in Alabama and need to find some antler buttons to use on arm guards that the kids will make.  I found some on fleabay, but would prefer to order from a regular supplier if I can.  I also need some elastic shock cord, but think I can probably find that locally.

Anyone know who carries antler buttons for projects?

I would think Mike Yancey would have them.  I think his company name is Pine Hollow Archery.

Another to check with is Big Jim. He will be there also.
Mike Yancey was there last year.
Either would probably help out if possible.

Cool!  Thanks so much both Tad and Jerry!  I am  looking for a total of 50.  Let me know how many you might be able to send and I can order any others I might need.  Great suggestions on Pine Hollow and Big Jim - both will be right there.
Thank you!!    :notworthy:    :notworthy:

OK Fellers, turns out that most of mine are large size, I only have about 40 that would be appropriate. I'm thinking 3/4" diameter would be about the correct size for a kid, so, I'll send 40 Joe's way and if you guys would pick up the slack that would be great. Thanks

You guys are wonderful!  That is what makes this place so special!
We should be all set on buttons.  
PM's are on the way to Jon and Ron regarding the shock cord.
Thank you all!   :notworthy:    :notworthy:
