Topic: Love my new Khan!

I like this bow so much I may get another for a backup!

It's just what I wanted; classic looks w a shelf for a finger shooter. Works much better for me than the Samick SKB did.

Mine is marked 45/52. It draws 40 at 28. The string that came w it is 47 inches long and braces it at 6 inches, which would make it a 50 inch bow by AMO standards, even though it measures 52 from nock to nock along the curve.

Mine is smooth, fast, and quiet, shoots where I look. Didn't need any adjusting, has same POI/POA as my old Bear and new Martin trad bows. 1916/2016 aluminum, 600/500 carbon arrows flew great. Even some old #7 Micro-Flite fiberglass arrows I have. About 160 fps w 500g arrows, drawn 28 inches w fingers. A fantastic deal for the price!

No Korean Master Archer. I can keep all my arrows on a large pizza box at 40 yds, and I'm very happy w that!

I may get some custom made strings for it. Will they work if the whole loop is served? Would a flemish style string work?

Re: Love my new Khan!

Hi BA,

Yes, no problem if the whole loop is served (aside from true horn bows, Kaya bows are the only Korean trad bows I've seen that don't serve the entire loop). 

I'm not sure how a flemish will do on one, as I've never tried, but it would probably work o.k.

Re: Love my new Khan!

Re: Love my new Khan!

I bought another Khan!

The center serving on the string was waaaaay off, would not work at all no matter which loop was on top. The center serving on my first bowstring was shorter than I like (4 inches), so I had both re-served so I have 2 inches of serving above my nocking point and 5 inches below.

The Flemish strings worked great too BTW. Still smooth, fast and quiet.
