Re: New bow...
Hi Zarasp, my undertsanding was that the Korean bows were ambidextrous so no I didn't order a left handed one. Do you think I should write to Thomas again? On the picture front - not so easy as I'll need one of my kids to take some shots for me. I'll see how I go and if we can get some decent ones ...

Re: New bow...

Not that I need another bow but I am building quite a collection of eastern style bows - can't wait for this one to arr...

Re: Korean Hwarang bows review
perry the first post stated 460gr arrow. I shoot a 55lb mamba. Its regarded almost unilaterally as a "quick" bow. it sounds quick, feels quick, looks quick. its quick. It shoots 450gr carbons at 175-180fps on a good day! (my good day..) 238fps at 460gr would have to be faster than many 60...

Re: GROZER BIO COMPOSITE has arrived / and EBay Asiatic
TY for the insight guys, @ Perry, my Persian bow had almost exactly the same grip as in picture, Hwarangs on the other hand come with a tiny flat handle, covered with a rubber grip, which i removed on one of them & built it again by wrapping to my preferred size, i've been using the same grip i ...

Re: GROZER BIO COMPOSITE has arrived / and EBay Asiatic
Thank you J. , i heard a Korean archer talk about a very similar way, it probably is the exact same actually, what he mentioned was that , if done correctly, it might increase the output energy by allowing the upper limb to "fall" forward (in a semi-circular way) & do it's work, which ...

:lol: , from similar tests that i have seen, 220 fps sounds really good,a friend estimated the Persian bow about 180 fps, which was a bit faster than Kassai, but still not suitable for fast horses & then these Korean bows, Hwarang, they were SO fast compared to anything i had before, i used all ...
