I just joined this forum today, because I decided to get back into shooting, and felt guilty for repeatedly emailing bluelake directly with questions about my 5-year old Hwarang bow.

I haven't shot for the past 2 or 3 years but I remember breaking several plastic arrow nocks with the original string of the Hwarang. Obviously this resulted in a dry fire event every time it happened.

I never gave it much thought until watching several videos made by people on YouTube with broken KTBs.

I didn't do any comparison shopping  before buying my Hwarang, because, as a former salesman myself, I appreciate the value of exotic items acquired from a genuine authority on the subject.

Everybody wants a good deal and there will always be purchase options made to appear as bargains compared to the benchmark. At the end of the day - we only get what we pay for.

The bark on my 5- year old Hwarang was quite faded, though not cracked. A very light coat of olive oil worked like a charm - just like it would on dry skin. You can see it working so it's easy to not use too much. The next day wipe it again with a dry towel and it will probably be good for a few years
