jbl,
Did you taper barrel your shafts or did someone do it for you?
1/2" feathers? Is that the height of the fletching? If it is, the arrow would experience a lot of drag with four fletches.

JBL, will you bobtail the entire wood shaft or barrel taper it?

Re: Big game hunting, Korean style (68 replies, posted in Hunting)
JBL, Stika Spruce + Purple Heart = very heavy hitting arrow. How many fletches are you looking at? 3? or 4 for nocking convenience?

BearPaw's Heavy Hunter shafts are nice but they don't come at higher spine than .320 and longer than 32".

We really need someone to harvest a huge 400 pounds wild boar with a 70# SMG or YMG and catch the whole thing on video

Phil, do you hunt big beasts?

Re: Big game hunting, Korean style (68 replies, posted in Hunting)
You really have to aim right to hunt wild hogs. The sweet spot is very difficult to hit. Will you attempt on a tree stand or in a blind? What broadheads and shaft material will you use?

I use my Hwarang for hunting and have taken squirrels and rabbits with the bow no problem. I plan on going hog hunting with it as well. The nice thing about these bows is the performance is excellent plus the small size allows for any style of hunting.

Re: FPS Kaya Windfighter (12 replies, posted in Bows)
That's very decent! You can easily draw the Windfighter to 34". So, your performance will improve if you were able to accomodate another four inches of draw.

Dan,
Even the KTB is more than sufficient to hunt small games: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2U_ZszNQLo Randy only draws to 26" in the video.
Check out: http://www.kayaarchery.com/magazine/kay … atalog.pdf Go to page 9 and you will see the KTB's draw force curve. The 60# KTB can really spit out an arrow if you draw it to 33".

Dan,
For Hwarang bows (SMG or YMG brands), please check out this thread: http://www.koreanarchery.org/punbb/viewtopic.php?id=232 A 70# medium-size Hwarang packs a lot of energy if you have a 33" draw.

I concur! We need longer carbon shafts like 34" to 35" in stock length.

Re: Kaya Khan arrived (35 replies, posted in Bows)
The reason I opted for the Khan is the window for holding the arrow and the relatively short length. I have a dozen 2219 fatboys that are good for 32" draw. Now that I know the Khan can't be drawn to 32", what bows with window and about 48" in length do you guys recommend? In fact, what is the maximum draw weight of the bow that allows the use of the 2219?

Thank you Thomas for the advice. I already contacted the vendor last week and just received a reply today.

Re: Kaya Khan arrived (35 replies, posted in Bows)
Oh dear, I have been pulling the Khan quite a few times to 32" today. I heard a cracking sound from the last pull. Upon closer inspection of the lower limb, I found a slim and narrow piece of fiberglass or wood that is de-laminated or splintered off. I immediately unstrung the Khan. 
Not a good start . . .

The 55# Khan is about 70# in peak draw weight at 32" draw.

Re: Kaya Khan arrived (35 replies, posted in Bows)
I was curious about the Khan and decided to take the plunge. Ordered a LH 55# Khan last week. It arrived yesterday. The bow is smooth and easy to draw to 32" with thumb ring.

Re: New Hwarang Ordered (39 replies, posted in Bows)
Exactly, I no longer use the bow stringer to brace the 60# Bamabow Royal Expedition. The walk through method is so handy! The bow stringer is only useful for very heavy poundage bows: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVPs9zRASfU

Kanuck, stringing it should not be hard, it's just a little confusing at first, and since the limbs are short they may slip and scrape your shin if you're not careful. It's all about the a gle and getting the crook of the limb secure on your shin and then bending the top limb with your hand. Manhandle the limb, it can handle it. Make sure string is straight and it will get very easy after a few times. After you master this you won't even need a stringer for your recurred and longbows. This technique if taught widely would put the bow stringer companies out of business.

The white string should be Fast Flight.
