Unfortunately I can only buy what JVD brings. I am yet to determine if they sell only stocked or they can arrange a retail order (through my dealer). They import Freddies' Nomads so I have a chance.

Topic: Taegeuk Horn Bow (Gakgung) (29 replies, posted in Bows)
There is a "Horn Bow" sold over at Freddies'site koreanbow.com. Taegeuk Horn Bow (Gakgung). Looks nice. Anyone owned or used one? Days are closing and I'm looking for a new bow. Hwarang and SMG are not "accessible" for my dealer. Very strict laws here. Most important: Any one knows its MAX DRAW LENGTH?

Interesting video Nick, nice compare. I saw how you string hand returns / move back / follow the arrow (sorry for my English, I do not how to call it) at the moment of before shot.
Thanks. Yes I have the habit of that. I didn't even know it. I'll remember to correct it next session and see how it goes.

Re: New Hwarang (17 replies, posted in Bows)
Can I ask you? With such a heavy bow (60@28 must be over 70@31) do you have the perfect form and draw calmness? Don't you have any shake duo to drawing near your limits? Watch my hands how much they shake: https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=you … A6DxMG9_HU

Can't fix the draw weight but I think I have done some progress. I'm considering a 10 pounds lighter for my next buy.

Topic: Fletching jig. (3 replies, posted in Arrows)
Hello. I am going to stop fletching with my hands... 
I was thinking of a Cartel Midas MXs. Should I fletch them to fly clockwise (right fletching) or left? (Right hand draws / on the right side of the bow). My old arrows where left helical BUT I had used right wing 3x3". Not the perfect flight. Please enlighten me!!! One other thing... 2315 are a little overspined, if I use 125gr points instead of 80gr and give a little extra length 0,5" and loose some back side of arrow weight, you think they'll fly o.k.?

Re: The broken bow club... (8 replies, posted in General Interest)
My first KTB came with a lamination failure. Before I try to string it I bent the limbs (as I do every time before stringing, I bent the limbs just a little as a worm up or a test if you will) and as if normal, the leather backing tore apart and reviled the lamination fault. The second KTB was just fine untill I placed a new grip and over draw(?) it... I don't know why... It broke at full draw, still got the string wipping mark on my hand. It was such a nice grip from my good old SKB.

I would like sometime on the weekend to sit down comfortably on my armchair and watch a Korean Traditional Archery Game. Not those 5 minute clips on YouTube, but a real whole game 1-2-3- what ever-hours long. Even if its going to be in Korean, I don't mind. Do you guys know any links for something like it?

Topic: Low back pains. (1 replies, posted in Health & Fitness)
Hello guys.
I was wondering what is your opinion on the subject of archery vs back pains and more specifically lower back pains.
I have both a nerve between two spine bones and often injured muscles etc (I need to do an MRI). I don't hurt much and not very often so I haven't got to check it properly YET. Planning to do it this year tho.
I can't say I have noticed any dramatic change with archery neither helps nor the opposite. Or maybe if I didn't do archery I might have been worse...
PS. Amongst other kinds of work I do, wedding videography and water packs lifting are the worst for my back.

I think your bow has a couple more inches of draw. Here is a picture drawing my KTB. In the photo my draw is 30 inches. I usually draw it to 31. It's the max draw for the 48 inch.

Topic: Hornbow vs Warbow (5 replies, posted in Bows)
GungSulWon makes hornbows and warbows.
In one youtube video they show how they make the warbow waterproof. I let them a comment question: what's the difference between the two, other than that and the price. I'll post any answer they give me here. Do you know of the differences that came to the design, after the transition of the Korean bow from a weapon of war and hunting to a sport? At the pick of its use, like in the Imjin War, could there have been many different designs in use?

This site sells the bows and names a price. 200 for artificial horn, 250 for carbon and 350 for laminated horn bow.
I'll get back to you with the prices at SMG's own site as soon as they reply ^.^
Thank you!
