You cannot be wrong with it.
Welcome!
Edit: Make sure you watch this video when you first get it:

After assembly, as the video tells, you'll have to tame the limbs a bit. No big deal really as the material is very malleable so you don't need to add heat or anything like that.
I will. Thank for the tip.

Welcome aboard, Frank!
Went once in Innsbruck when I was younger. Just loved Tyrol, its cheese and... great beers! ;-)
And when I shoot my "made in Austria" Glock (more often than my Kaya KTB I must confess...!), it is always a great feeling.
Cheers,
Tom.

Re: Bow recommendations? YMG vs SMG vs Hwarang, etc (23 replies, posted in Bows)
Thank you very much for your input, Pedro. Very appreciated. Time to make the right decision now and ... some work out excercices!!! 
PS : have some good rifles to do the job but bow hunting is much more challenging according to me.

Re: Bow recommendations? YMG vs SMG vs Hwarang, etc (23 replies, posted in Bows)
Pedro and Dave, you are right, guys.
I would like to use my new bow for hunting too.
The KTB for practising thumb ring and to have fun without pain. And a much more poweful bow for deer/elk with mediterranean style.
Do you think a 55-60 lbs would be appropriate?

Re: Bow recommendations? YMG vs SMG vs Hwarang, etc (23 replies, posted in Bows)
I am very interested in that "KOREA GUKGUNGWON" listed on the first post (http://m.ebay.com/itm/271805777517).
I think I going to give it a try. I have actually a Kaya KTB (25 lbs - my "initiation" one) but would like to upgrade it.
For the asked price (290.00USD), it seems to be a quite correct bow...

Re: Thumb ring problems and numbness (13 replies, posted in Thumb Rings)
I bought a ring from koreanbow.com which was way too tight. I though my thumb measure was correct but apparently, it wasn't!
So I took my Dremel with appropriate deburring stones. After 5 minutes of easy work, it is now a perfect fit but, as a noob, I have to practise a LOT... This is the traditional way... but not the easier one!

Welcome aboard!
I use a Kaya KTB myself. I am a beginner, so a 25 lbs is OK for my needs and thumb ring training purpose.
A really addictive hobby...

Indoor shooting range is installed and functional. No choice. Part of the basement is a 7 yards "arrows highway"!
Thanks for your tips. I am trying to focus on proper alignment, among other things, for a while now as YouTube KTB masters were my only instructors. I am a kind of self-taught bower in the KTB art... And it is always a challenging way! But efforts begin to pay of and this is highly gratifying.

Re: Hello from Montreal, Canada. (13 replies, posted in New Member Introductions)
Sure, Geo, but five to six months each year of practice in such sub-optimal weather conditions is just to much for me...
Today's temperature was -4 F° (-19°C). Way too cold for my little thumbs! ;-)

Re: Hello from Montreal, Canada. (13 replies, posted in New Member Introductions)
Thanks WillS, but no hunting plan for the moment. Have many rifles to do the job... ;-) Joke aside, I am not just good enough with a bow actually... But I think very seriously about that. Just need a higher poundage bow with our canadian laws.
A nice #50 Hwarang may solve the problem I guess... ;-)
Thank you too, Geo, for your kind words. I just prefer Montreal IN SUMMER, like all other human beings ;-)) Winter is just a frozen hell... Low poundage makes all the difference, you are right, for the newbie I am.

Thank you and you are right, Pedro. Just tried to avoid usual beginner mistakes (heavier bow) and listened many advices posted on the forum... A week-end hobby is now, on year later, a real passion!
