Title: Deer Antler Striker Tops?
Post by: possum58 on March 20, 2016, 01:44:11 PM
Anyone ever use deer antler for strikers top? Would they work or be too hard?
Thinking of putting together a hickory striker top with a small deer antler.

 I made a couple out of scrap carbon arrows with antler tops.  They were very heavy and I never did achieve the result that I was looking for.

Ok thanks for the reply. I kinda figured they would be top heavy. All the antlers I have are either big or too small. Still might give it a try but wont hold my breath.
