Anyone else have an affinity for mammoth or other ivory and actually shoot with it?

I've got a few sets and they've all been rock solid. The 1 pair I haven't shot with yet are the mammoth molars, but just haven't gotten around to it.

I change all my grip bushings to the Challis ones using their tool and use o-rings with any ivory grips.

Here are a few more of the sets I have.

Baleen Basket with Walrus Ivory Bear

This Baleen Basket with Walrus Ivory Bear was made by Marilyn Hank in Point Hope, AK. Baleen is a material obtained by Inupiaq and St. Lawrence Islanders from harvested whales, particularly the bowhead. Baleen plates have hair-like structures that filter out tiny floating organisms and fish and...

Almost certainly the same artist. Not something one finds at the local store.

My wife wears these occasionally when shooting in our back yard.
