I heard the horn bows don't perform all that well for the amount of effort. Anyone have any experience, don't get me wrong. I'm gonna try one someday. They r sweet!! Just wondered about performance

I think that depends on how much you make the bow work , if the sinew ain't getting stretched it's not going to be as effective as when it is, if I get the sinew working and achieve the desired draw length it should be pretty snappy, but i'm just going on a wing and a prayer on this one ;)

James I was planning a riser on the back, a reverse handle, think it will work?

most all hornbows have reverse riser,your core looks fine,, you need to glue one on before the glue sizings
