Title: Will these horns work for ELB horn nocks?
Post by: toomanyknots on January 21, 2013, 10:50:33 am

Will these horns work for ELB horn nocks? They look like they are spitting between the layers, is this normal? I've never made elb horn nocks from raw horn, so I don't know... These are supposed to be 3" - 5" long.

Sometimes cow horns will do that.I have not seen gemsbok or water buffalo do it yet.I would say they would be ok yet as long as the very center is'nt split any.Have fun.

I don't think you'd really know until you tried one. I'd be a bit concerned with the layer seperation.
