White Feather bows...

Just as an info, I took the bow out lat weekend on our club's shooting range.
Shooting it for about an hour, there seems to be no great difference to the (Kaya) KTB of the same poundage. I was using mediterranean draw exclusively, though.

The only difference - a large bruising at my bow arm. Never needed one with the Kaya, and still don't need one with the windfighter. Small differences with the grip, and a large one on my arm 

And, the silvery arrow protection began to wear of after the first shots. I think I going to put some thin leather protection on.

Two days before, I pulled my Grozer Nomad out of the corner, and got away without bruises. The Grozer grip is higher, but more narrow.
Brace height is quite low, at least compared to "normal" recurves. I can cross-check with the Windfighter. Or with the retired KTB.

I consider modifying the grip, but wait until I'm "ready" for thumb draw with this bow.

Edit:
Brace height of my Windfighter is even lower, about 5.2" compared to 5.6". Yet he doesn't slap me.

For me that's when my elbow is pointing at the ground rather than to the side.

Not really the grip's shape..  Form is still a conscious effort, for me & sometimes it's not all there.

Would you care to elaborate?

Basically, the string slap in mediterranean style.

As notes elsewhere, I stopped shooting in thumb draw with such "heavy" bows, because I believe it messes up my immature technique.
I ordered a weaker bow (25#) for that training, which is currently at the customs.

And to elaborate a bit more - the difference is the handle. It is less "bulky" and more round than the Kaya grip I got used to.
I still have the Windfighter (basically a KTB without limb cover), and even with higher draw weight, I experience almost no string slap.
Again, talking about mediterranean only.

To be fair, both bows are not made for mediterranean style, which demands a different grip.
A normal recurve bow is usually held with just the thumb and the index finger, and basically pressed into the grove between both fingers.
The very common pistol grip of recurves is made just for that.

Once I'm proficient with my still-to-arrive weaker bow, I plan to shoot them (White Feather and Windfighter) in the "proper" way.
But not yet now ...

I ordered a Segye Korean bow from alibow. The grip was too small to shoot comfortably with a Korean style low wrist, so I padded it with paper and glue, and wrapped it with leather. now it's all egg shaped, somewhat deep and fits the hand nicely. The string bridge fell off and I put the tip on the ground to unstring it and it broke off, i'll have to reglue them, but the grip is still doing fine. But still, hard foam could  be better

Small update to my WF bow.
I had been participating in a 3D tournament last week with said White Feathers bow.
Quite an interesting experience, and I met a few other thumb archers.
Some relevant stuff:

1.
A very small number of participants in the horsebow class (about 10 at all), just me with a Korean style bow.
The others, being mostly from the same club, had Robert Vegh Scythian bows.
I was lucky to team up with one of those "Scythians", who had a 50# bow with bamboo arrows.
He is practicing thumb draw for some years.

2.
After a lame start (have been a bit nervous, and was my first 3D tournament), I could keep up quite well, being on par with my Scythian group member.
That doesn't say too much about the bow, though.

3.
The other group members (being already in their sixties) had trouble pulling the wood/bamboo arrows shot by both horsebows.
(Wood/bamboo arrows were mandatory for the horsebow class.)
I found that penetration with my 30# bow and his 50# Scythian were approximately the same, significantly more than the Carbon arrows of the BHR (Bow Hunter Recurve) group members.

4.
Another group member shot a TD recurve of a renown European bowyer, costing about 4..5 times as much as my bow.
The bow had 28#, he had Carbon arrows of approx. 300..350 grain.
Watching him shooting, the arrows arced visibly at 25 yard and beyond, much more than my bow with heavier arrows.

My conclusions from the tournament, and from similar observations at my club - White Feather bows are about on par with Kaya and Nomad KTBs, and matching the efficiency of mid or high range recurve bows.

Concerning durability, I can't say much yet, having the bow less than a year.
Going to report back here anything interesting.

Because of a 30 per cent discount in my favourite shop, I bought a 35# Nomad KTB recently.
Technical details are similar to a Carbon Forever bow from White Feathers, so a direct comparision seems in order.
Only the Nomad is 48", the Carbon Forever 53" (henceforth called CF). I choose the 53" variant of the latter, which is also available in 48".

Both are from Freddie Archery, and look very similar. Limbs are covered with an identical fabric. The CF has a smaller grip, wrapped with what looks like thin leather. The Nomad grip is bigger, and covered with a straw-colored pimpled rubber. It looks ugly, but feels more comfortable, and gives me better control then the CF grip.
The rest is again quite similar. The Nomad looks a bit more elaborate, yet mostly plastic details.
Performance-wise, there is not much difference. I got the impression the CF has slightly more punch, doing better with the heavy wood arrows I use. I didn't shoot them back-to-back, though.
If I find the time, I do a speed and distance measurment over the turn of the year.

In conclusion, very similar bows with very similar characteristics. The Nomad used to be about 20 per cent more expensive here. It seems you only pay that 20% for looks, not performance.
