Powder horns

#1 Post by UPTHETOP » Thu Jan 15, 2015 12:41 pm

I know this hasn't anything to do with archery but visited an old knife making friend the other day and he is into the black powder shooting and I couldn't pass up the opportunity of posting a picture of these horns I gave to him a few years back. It is good to see any old craft not being lost ,I recon he has done a great job on them.

Cheers Wayno

They are very nice.
They look better than the one I have which is a plastic bottle with a measure fitting fitted to the lid and a brass one.
I think the black powder gun/rifle is the traditional or shooting.

may your arrows fly straight and true and your limbs return.

They look great Wayno, your Mate has put lots of Work in the fitting and Polishing ! I've recently bought a Flintlock Muzzle Loader and there is a lot of crossover in the general Skills, especially with Pre 1900 Archery Tackle / Hunting Equipment
