Is there any documentation of what Korean war arrows were like (length, weight, etc.)? I've only been able to find information about target arrows.

Topic: WTB 80#-90# Hwarang bow or Manchu Bow (2 replies, posted in Buy/Sell/Trade)
First off I'm a new member and have been looking into Korean/Eastern archery for a bit, but really haven't taken the time to really learning. Long story short, I like shooting really heavy bows (I shoot warbows). I'm mainly interested in a strong Hwarang bow (from what I've read it seems to have divine powers), but if someone has a strong Manchurian bow, I'd be willing to take it off your hands. I live in the U.S.
I'm not planning on dedicating myself to learning the traditional shooting method as I can't figure it out with my lack of depth perception and other issues that I have. So while it might be blasphemy, I'd shoot it mediterranean with a thumbdraw. All kidding aside, I'd probably still give it a go (always thought it would work well for moving targets, pheasants, squirrels, rabbits, etc.)
I figure I'd apologize in advance if I broke some rules of early member postings or something along those lines.

I'm a bushman who LOVES archery, I began reading about asian archery (mainly Korean n' Manchu) a couple years ago and jus' became really interested in it. I primary a hunter n' a stump shooter. I like running around in the bush n' when I go on my walkabouts and treks, I always find the time to go chase around the local critters, or whack stumps. That's all really.
