Anyone know how they hit and if they are shaded what would you {if anything,} do to make them all white or whatever? Also do they split or hold up well?
thanks, Bill

Hard hit. Very strong. Only draw back are that they are ugly and heavy. They can be bleached.

I personally like them better than ivory. I hunt alot and friends bring the stuff to me alot so I have plenty in supply. I am letting the stuff I have now dry out for the next few years. They hit hard and as someone said are heavy.....very comparable to ivory. Also they don't have the really pingy sound and feel of hard plastics. Very solid quiet hit in my experience. Brent at bhq turned me on to them and I will never forgive him......as good as they hit....the smell....o god the smell....when your cutting them outta raw antlers it will gag you....jesus you'll smell the stuff in your sleep.

Sometimes you can get them clear without bleaching, just depending on the material. I use a buckhorn ferrule on one of my cues and I like it a lot...very white non porous material. I have installed a few for customers and all of them were pleased.
