Has anyone put an ax handle on a tru-bore horn?

Post by Amconk »

My Professor liked my ax handle on my standard shires rotor so he ordered one for his horn, but he has a tru-bore and is having a difficult time configuring it. Anyone had success? Pictures?

It works but you have to order a specific one. I emailed them first to ask which was the right one. He should contact them and exchange it.

Thanks for the info! Do you happen to have a picture of yours installed?

I don’t and I switched to an axial recently so I can’t take one unfortunately. I can take a picture of the shape of the rod though when I get a chance. It’s not the C rod that goes above the bracket, it’s one that comes out below it.

They could also just return it and get the instrument innovations brace, which comes with 3 different rods.

What are the differences/benefits of this versus the bullet brace?
