bows with horn, antler, hoof overlays

[pintail_drake2004]

Howdy yall, my bro and i are in the process of starting our 2nd bow and we want to have some kind of antler tips. Anyone have some pics they would like to share? not sure what we will end up doing yet, we have some deer hoof, antlers, some bone, and can get some buffalo horn. Would like to see some pics to compare. Thanks

They sell sheeps hooves at pet stores for around a buck each, they look and work just like horn. That's what I tend to use as cheap and locally avalible are big factors for me... I also like to use hardwoods as well as a mix of both.
