Default Orynx Horn Bow

Does anybody own and shoot something like this ?
This is a self Gemsbok or Orynx Gazelle bow, it is made with a single horn split in two halfs, the spacer and handle is solid aluminum and will be covered with Orynx skin, right now the specs stand at 64" long #47@ 28" Draw

Have never shoot one but that looks cool. Do you hunt with it?

Man, I bet that material is great in tension and compression. I bet its as good as bamboo. Can't wait to hear how it shoots.

It is shooting real well with hardly any shock, Grouping 3" at 15 yards.

Alex, I have to admit, thats about the coolest bow I think I have ever seen.

As for bow material, how is it.
