Re: can korean horn bows match turkish flight bows in flight archery (58 replies, posted in Bows)
I have a bow Kaya Windfighter 60lb and at the last competition in the Czech Republic (Skalanske vejce) I shot 261m. My record is 310m. Yes, the quality of the arrows is very important. I have bamboo arrows of my own production (split bamboo about 30 grams) and small feathers (pheasant).

There is no need to dramatize the cutting feathers manually. In the past it has also been cut by hand (just as they do today). It takes a steady hand and sharp scissors.

...I think what is being said is that even 80# spined shafts can break at the node...emphasing that the node is a "fragile" part of the shaft regardless of the spine rating...?
That's what I understood from it anyway...
Yes, that's right. Shafts with high spin are obviously more durable. Nodes are but also so fragile. I made for our archery club and friends around 500 arrows for bows from 40 to 80lb. The arrow almost always broke in the node ... Sure but it depends on the type of bamboo. Shafts with high SPINE also have high weight (my arrows for bows 70 to 80lb weigh 700 to 800 grain). With these you can shoot arrows from bows 40 to 45lb. For such bows seems resistant. When shooting from bow 60 to 70lb but reflected the effect of fragile nodes. Fragility affects supplier of shafts - high temperature processing (straightening) = higher fragility of nodes.

Given that the arrows are only slightly heavier spined then the draw weight, will they break at the nodes when shooting at distances of 15m or less?
Bamboo arrows to break the nodes in the case of spine shafts 80lb (or more). Nodes are critical - fragile (hit the target edges, tree branch ...).

So what about arrows that are for example not drawn to 32"? So for instance 29" arrows drawn to 28". What would you do with regards to the spine then? Increase or decrease it?
Bow 38lb, draw 28-29":
Shafts SPINE 40 to 45lb MUST COMPLY. It is good to know that bamboo is not a homogeneous material and also has a bow poundage tolerance + - 10%.

Re: Bamboo Arrow help please (24 replies, posted in Arrows)
My experience:
45lb bow = shaft spined 55-60lb at 32"draw.
55-60lb bow = shaft 65-75lb at 32"draw.
An important principle:
Arrows shaft should have the same SPINE in one set of arrows. It is best to sort finished arrows in the set (simply test flight characteristics)!
Bamboo shaft are quite tolerant, but it must be sorted. Bambo arrows but never equal carbon arrows (carbon arrows - the same spin, and each arrow perfectly straight ...)!

Re: Flight shooting with Kaya KTB (2 replies, posted in Bows)

The tournament "Sniper Day" September 8, 2012 (Czech Republic)
268 m, 310 m. Above 300m I had 2 arrows. It was not a coincidence.
Bamboo is full of cleaved and polished by hand, not glued on the rod.

Kaya is really super bow = super ratio of price and performance.

Topic: Flight shooting with Kaya KTB (2 replies, posted in Bows)
Result flight shooting Kaya KTB 55lb, target 22 grams bamboo arrows 29" for extra long discipline.
Interestingly the tournament "Pacovske lukobranie" The Slovak Republic was shot flight discipline. Kaya KTB longest range was 262 m. The shortest range was 245 m, and the average range was 250m. With better arrows could be a range of 280-300 meters.
Bow has not been modified, string standard. The result could be better, but even so I am satisfied.

Quiver bow under the bow I made Hwarang and Kaya. Dimensions do not know. The quiver of arrows for the top plate of bamboo. Below is a bamboo foam, and that holds arrows. Foam is flexible and arrows holding up well.

I'll be able to offer some feedback shortly, regarding Hwarang and Kaya as my friend has just bought a Kaya.
I have several bows Korean type (Hwarang 45lb and 70lb, 50lb and 55lb Kaya). They are comparable and very good. Hwarang is closer to the original Korean HornBows. Kaya but also shoots very well.
