bruno22rf Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 (edited) Are you going to sharpen the Antler to a point then use it to open the "beep" plastic packaging? Or is it a cryptic clue - you have the horn for Penelope? Edited December 13, 2018 by bruno22rf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panoma1 Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 I imagine It will be unique, and useful to a shooter or fisherman.......If you cap the "head" ends with brass it will be heavy enough and should not need any lead loading!
