Korean Traditional Archery → Bows → kaya nomad
Hello,
I'm a happy user of the ktb from kaya in 48'' 35#
I'm interested in the new kaya nomad in 53'' length, 35# as I guess it should be more confortable for my long draw (I'm used to kyudo shooting, lol)
My concern is where could I buy it in France ? Do you know any French dealer, or should I order from koreanbow.com directly ?
My first KTB was a lucky buy, French dealers don't usually follow that kind of items and it's quite difficult to get what you want.
thanks mule. seems legit but I can't find the stock availability nor the estimated delivery time. Is it shipped from Netherlands ? I'm surprised how German and Dutch seem quite open minded to "non european" archery ways.
Yup, shipped from the Netherlands. It's one of the biggest European archery shops
Delivery is probably a week, definitely faster than anything coming from Korea in any case
Going from the poor picture in the link from Mule, the Nomad looks like a regular Kaya KTB. Is it different in any way other than being a few inches longer. Is it covered in the famous paisley sheep skin? 
It's a KTB from another company, not Kaya. It's covered in... I don't know how to describe it. Why don't these companies sell a fake birch bark pattern instead of these strange flowery wallpaper designs?
You can see better pictures here http://www.koreanbow.com/shop/index.php … er=product
As far as I understand, it's the same company (can't remember the name but I saw it on a PDF somewhere on the web) that already sells under the kaya brand. Nomad is a new brand, but same business anyway.
Chosuk your question is legit (I have the same, lol) : I was looking for the 52 kaya ktb as I am quite please with the 48 but wanted that extra smoothness in the last inches of my draw.
Then I saw the nomad in 53 and thought why not ?
Nevertheless, I asked various dealers about the differences between kaya ktb 52 and nomad 53 and so far got no answer :-/

Nomad is Freddie Won's company; he has also been the business manager for Kaya for years.

Thanks Thomas.
Maybe you know whom I should address my question then : what's the difference between nomad ktb 53'' and kaya ktb 52'' ?
One inch. They might be owned by the same parent company but they're still just bows made by different people. They're both Korean bows, just made by different makers.
As far as I know, Freddie Won just named it for his product. However, it would not surprise me if someone else also had the same name.
I remember in this thread everyone talking about the HMG:

I was curious so when I went to Kaya's website a little over a year ago (2014-04-18 07:36:51 to be exact, just checked my invoice), I bought what was called the Hyunmugung. The bow I received interestingly enough is what's now known as the 'Nomad'. The materials in the thread-link I referenced are the same regarding threading, leather arrow pass guard, and that yellow grip material. What changed from that product to what I bought in 2014 was apparently the design on the synthetic covering.
I think what is now the Nomad was somehow the HMG as there appears to be a carry over in materials.
