I’ve seen all kinds of lengths recently advertised when shopping for KTA.
In the past I have always known to be one length 48”

This leads me to the question, what is the traditional length of the KTA? And does anybody have any references for a standard or general length?

I haven’t shot the KTA in the past few years. Is this some thing new?
Also-where did all of these bowyers come from?

Does YMG and SMG and Hwarang still around?

Thank you

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.
