    Does this help... Straight lines in blue, radii in red. All the way through in this version there's always a straight line before each radius, and the radii are arcs of circles, not compound curves. I tried to draw my lower horn so the angles to the centreline mirrored those of the V.

    It could do with more symmetry maybe.

    In this idea I've tried to make all the angles the same, so the upper rear and lower front horns are symmetrical about the red line, the two lower horns are mirror images, and the angles of the front horn are the same as those of the rear horns. Needs more work. Anyway, just throwing a couple of ideas in the pool, hopefully not spanners in the works...

    Maybe that front horn should be blunter, same radius as the others...
