Small Flat Horn
« on: May 07, 2012, 04:41:28 PM »
 It is about six inches long and ¾ thick. The tip is horn, pinned on with three steel pins. The center band has two pins in it, the base four. The base has a sliding plate in it to cover the fill hole.

Tim,
That is a great looking bag horn. I have a silmilar one with a sliding panel in the bottom that covers a compartment for caps and the horn is made for balls.

That horn really makes "sense" to me Tim.  We hunt very tight brush and anything dangling is tangling. Bag horns just make sense in this kind of terrain, and flattening the horn goes hand-in-hand with a compact bag.  I can't speak knowledgeably about documented history of bag horns or the state of the brush fields centuries ago. But if conditions were anything like mine, it would be common sense to detangle from straps as much as possible.

I really like this one Tim. Rase and I have both been talking about flat banded horns. I have a small flat horn with an applied tip in the works. Havn't gotten to finish it as I have not been in the shop for 3 weeks now. Scott Morrison talked me into fluteing the tip. I think I like it. I'll post it when I get done
Good work.
