Great looking animals guys. Fair lump of a critter too by the looks

Orion, we don't have them here, so I'm not familiar with the term "Rag Horn".

What does it mean ??

I've taken four with my recurve. The largest is the 7x8 in my avatar that gross scored 336. The bow used was a Black Widow PSA recurve that pulled 58#@ 27". The arrow was a 250 Heritage with a 100 grain insert and a Black Diamond Eskimo. Total arrow weight was 605 grains from memory. (Modified at the OP request)

ALex.  A rag horn is just a young bull, usually a smaller five-point or less, but more than a spike.

Used a 65# Bighorn recurve, a 58# Robertson mystical longbow and a 52# ACS. As my age went up, my bow weight went down.
