Pm me your address and the approximate length you want.  I have plenty of horn from Texas longhorns.   They have long solid tips.

Cow hooves would still work....just make your tips a bit wider!  Oh, and adjust tiller accordingly. 

And lastly, wear diapers when shooting.  The handshock will loosen everthing from your fillings on down.
