I made these using old can caps and cut-off unmentionables.

I'm an old guy, raw horns used to be easy to find. Have some in the basement. I'd either drill out the Traditions hole to a usable size or pitch that useless horn and make my own. It isn't so difficult.
it seams that cows nowadays aren't born with them? kids nowadays have never seen a cow with horn on them. as a young feller on the farm we used a form of cutter that you closed up on the horn to cut it off and to stop the bleeding put on a heavy grease. then later in years, we went to a piece that would burn them off no blood because it cauterized it at the same time as it burnt it off. boy did it ever stink! that was 70 yrs ago and the smell, it never leaves your memory. so yes they, cow horns are getting very hard to acquire. most come from the slaughter houses from scrub cows & bulls. and no I am not going to explain what a scrub animal is.
