When "Creating" the Latest Work of Archery ArrowSlingin' Art, does anyone have a Preference or a "Tip"  :rolleyes:   on which Antler Tip to Use for the Bow Ends?  :goldtooth:

Fallow deer is pretty easy to work with, it's kind of oval shaped so you don't have to do much preperation work.  Other than appearance though, I don't think there is much difference in one from the other.

I've heard it said that whitetail antlers tend to dry out faster than most. Moose antler seems to be a better choice.

Elk antler is soft, so it will show wear faster.
On the other end of the spectrum moose is the hardest.
