Ames has made some awesome flat powder horns that also have storage for ammo. I keep missing on purchasing one of his works of art but keep hoping to score one of his horns.
Quiet when they where in vogue I have no documentation but they do seem a traditional Scottish type likley date from 17th c or before they come in all sizes I've made big & little .the form is created by heating the horns till near melting then pressed into desired shape with adjustable fillers & quik hands . Rolland Cadle was good at making these horns. I doubt they are percussion much but the Scots being a thrifty race & the horns hard to wear out easily certainly could be .I beleive small flat horns where used to carry caps that might be what Tomahawk is thinking ofFlattened horns are my favorite. They take up less space. Not sure when they were in vogue.
Would appreciate any and all insights into using a flat powder horn during hunting season. Size, easy of use, and any other issues or thoughts would greatly be encouraged. Thanks!
