Topic: World Archery Festival in Yecheon in October

In the middle of October, a new world archery festival will be held in Yecheon (Gyeongsangbukdo), arguably the heart of archery in South Korea. It will be for both Olympic and traditional styles. For the traditional side, we will have several important international archers involved, as both presenters and organizers. Things are still getting organized, but I wanted to give people a heads-up so that they can mark their calendars. Please plan on joining! I'll be giving more information soon.

Re: World Archery Festival in Yecheon in October

Hi, er, 100% noob here--I just found out about the archery festival in Yecheon, I live in Gyeongsangbukdo now, so I'd love to go, but when I look for information about it (location, times) I can only find a Winks travel page and this thread. Would you know where I might be able to find some more information about it? (I'd love to try to learn archery while I'm here, but I'm still looking for where to start.  I'll start reading through this forum, I'm glad I found it!)

Sorry I haven't been on here, as I've been to the festival.  There are still things going on tomorrow, but it's pretty much winding down.  In any case, here is their FB page: https://www.facebook.com/ychongbo
