No, mine is a stock right-handed Khan (left side window); I just shot it with a thumb ring like any other Korean bow.

But you still shoot right-handed, bow on left hand, arrow on left side of bow?

I have try that with normal recurve, but arrow just goes far left.

I read "Kays thumbring book", and she says, mongolian archers can shoot both sides, so it is not matter which side of the bow arrow is.


Hope you understand my bad english... hmm

Yup, I hold it in my left hand and release with my right.  With fingers, the arrow is on the left side of the bow; with thumb ring, it's on the right.  Yes, it's true what Kay said about Mongolian archers, but they are pretty much the exception.

Why is it that the arrow must switch side depending on the type of release?  Is it due to the different horizontal movent of the string caused by three-finger compared to thumb-release?

Has anyone gone the extra mile and took the time to measure the peak draw weight of the Khan from 28" to 31" or even at 32"?

And / or the energy (joule) produced by the bow using different arrow weights at specific draw weight / length..

Thanks for Your reply. Very informative.

The only species allowed for bow hunting, where I live, is Roe deer, fox, rabbit and smaller animals. Denmark is the country.
Energy is mandatory. 40joule "at the muzzle" so to speak is the requirement by law.

So the bow must deliver that amount of power.

Looking forward to the Chrono measures. ;-)

It seems  that the Khan is delivering #55 at 28 and is supposed to be drawn out to about 29"

Hi

I'm thinking of aquiring a Kaya Khan.

I was just wondering how much power it may deliver.

I wish to use it for hunting, but in my country the bow must deliver 40joule (at E0) using an arrow of at least  386 grains or 25grams.

Is this possible with this bow?

Thank You in advance.
