Thanks Geoarcher!
I'll start off with that and get a thumb ring. I'll start looking into making a tonga once I get used to the technique.
Thanks again!

Usually you want to start off with a set (inlcudes bow, case, and maybe some arrows).....
As for the bow kits at Freddie's site, the Nomad looks like a winner to me but I've no experience with it.
Yea I thought about a set but the sets are nearing my budget (and don't seem worth it). It comes with a glove and I do have a Japanese thumb draw glove, yugake, but probably wont be the same. I am also not sure if I should use a thumb ring. Plus the arrows included aren't or don't look feathered either. I might have to get everything separate sadly.

Word of caution: I'd hold off on the tonga until you gain balance and stability with the bow.
Yea I looked around more and it was pretty expensive.

Re: Bow Recommendations (6 replies, posted in Bows)
Follow up on my previous question. Just looking around and found the KTB Kingdom or Black Shadow on koreanbow.com since it's around my price range. Looking at 40-45#@ 31". Not to sure how good this bow is since there are no reviews on it, so I thought I'd ask here. Also I'm not sure if I should be shooting at lower poundage since I'm new to Korean archery but around 40# is where I am comfortable at doing shooting other bows.
PS. I haven't noted it yet but my budget as a new shooter is around $500 for everything (bow, arrows, ring?/glove, possible tong-ah cause I thought it was interesting). Budget might change depending on what I want/need.
Thanks!

Hello!
Just joined not to long ago and looking for some recommendations on a new Korean bow. I see all these acronyms online and I'm not to sure what it all means. Just looking something more traditional and not too expensive so I can get into Korean Archery and if there is anything else that I should be getting as well.
Thanks!

Hi Everyone!
New user here from California. A bit about myself: I have done archery on and off ever since I was a kid (due to other activities and hobbies) and still love it to this day! Practiced and trained in Traditional target shooting and Japanese archery. I got interested in Korean Archery (might sound cliche lol) ever since I watched War of the Arrows. I don't know to much about the bows and the technique because I couldn't find much online but I hope to learn more you all!
