I had a hunter shoot off the G1 on his bull that he killed. Its shattered all the way to the mainbeam. Just wanted to know what is the easiest and fastest way possible to fix this.
Thank you

mold the opposite G-1, make the mold long enough to work as a saddle against the mainbeam.
put an anchor screw in the broke area. Use two part polymer to cast the tine, paint the repair work and a little
area on the main beam with an off white. then use Brush-on, wipe-off antler paint to match the color, start with
raw umber and add black to get the desired darkness. paint on using rubbing alcohol as a thinning agent, wipe off to show the detail of the point. allow to dry
seal with a matt or flat clear sealer. a second coat of paint may be required, be sure to remove excess paint and allow to dry.
seal once dry.
it's really that simple.
