- A basic review of my 77# Cheonjigung CJG 천지궁
It's about a month old at this stage and a bit too heavy for me at the moment. I couldn't get many clean passes through the chronograph, so will do this at another time when I become more proficient.
Bought from Ace Archery in Korea.

Edit: I am embarrassed to find a typo in the video when I first name the Cheonjigung (천지궁) as "펀지궁" The ㅊ (ch) and the ㅍ (p) sit next to each other on the keyboard and my fat fingers selected the wrong one.
Editing videos takes a long time and there are many things to remember to check. I can't change the video, but please be assured that I am learning and want to improve, always.
Very beautiful Korean bow definitely snappy one. BTW nice shooting. 😊
Oh yes. Very snappy. It's the Segye's big brother.
Very nice, a beast indeed!
I'd look into getting a metal or horn thumb ring, a few other youtubers have had 3d printed/plastic thumb rings fail with no warning with bows around 70lb
My brass ones are from AliExpress but can also be found in eBay / Amazon. Were about £10. Got three sizes 20,21 and 22 depending on weather and inflammation.
The horn was from Daylite Archery
I think this one has the most prettiest draw profiles of all KTBs I saw available on the market!
@@solhoibaturu It certainly is different. It seems to bend closer to the handle and a little less boxy.
It's also a little bit smaller than the 50" bows but packs a punch.
Your form is quite nice. 👌
@@seanmccall7277 Thanks. I'd disagree. I'm doing all sorts of things with my right arm leading to inconsistent release. Best thing about filming myself is that i get to coach myself.
@KTBIOM I understand completely. However, it's being critical and constantly unsatisfied that eventually leads us to great, natural technique. I've been a full time professional artist for 29 years now.. all I ever see are the mistakes.. However slowly...may we both keep working and improving! 🙏. Peace to you.
Hello again, ..by the way.. is that a Scythian grip you're using?? I've only seen it on ancient Greek pots..
@@seanmccall7277 no. I'm trying for a Korean grip. Tight lower three fingers. Loose index curled on front. Thumb resting on middle finger.

Swapped my 100gn points to 150grain bringing arrow weight to 475grain for a 6.2gpp this morning before practice. Will see how they shoot.
Usually 9gpp arrow weight is good for Korean bows, of course you can go lighter, but it may reduce the lifespan of the bow ✌️☺️
Keep enjoying the Cheonji! It’s a very nice bow, indeed! 👊😁

Here is someone shooting 432 grain arrows (28gram) with a 100# bow. 4.32gpp. This gives me hope.
I'm getting curious about ACE now...Have you corresponded with them much over email?
Yes. I did during the purchase, as you can imagine. Always responsive given the time difference.
60 pounds very lethal weight for hunting. I like to shoot at least 200 arrows a day minimum. For me 40-45 pounds is enjoyable. Thanks for the review. How much did it cost?
With shipping and extra $30 for birch bark, I think it came to about $275.
Sir can you please tell me what do they mean in bow length Small ,medium large in CM
For Cheonji, 119cm is a longbow. 117.5cm is a middle bow, 115cm is short bow and 109cm is a short-short bow.

You shoot very heavy poundage. Do you think the same bow in lesser poundage would lose any performance?
@@jimbrunett5025 Other than a bit of speed, I think this bow in lower poundage would perform well. It's slightly shorter than other bows same size for size. The shape of the limbs slightly leafy and tapered at the arrow pass means it has a narrower arrow pass than most other KTBs. Both Agama Green and Armin Hirmer have tested the lower poundage Horn version and it seems quite good. I really like this bow.
@ thanks for answering. I enjoy your videos. I am also Latinate about archery and now I’m obsessed with these Korean style shooting. I started very low poundage as the thumb draw was so awkward at first.
@jimbrunett5025 Thank you for your comments and I am glad you enjoy the videos. I started thumb shooting before I got a thumb ring, with the 35# Freddie Archery Black Shadow. First raw, then with motorcycle gloves, then a leather tab, and finally the cheap metal thumb rings. A good sized thumb ring makes a world of difference.
I am now at the stage that pulling my bows 3 fingers hurts my forearm as I not used to the strain, but I can use the thumb with no problems. Different tendons and muscle groups.
Cheonji vs Jeil - which one better? Sorry
@@gogamgogam5485 I've not tested these against each other. I should do that.
I shot the Jeil last week. It took me a while to get good. I think the grip is too small for me. During the course of the morning my accuracy improved. But I'd sometimes have a good shot and then miss the next. It requires good form.
The CJG is a lot heavier. It is a workout. However I was getting good accuracy and consistency almost from the start. I'll see if I can get good weather to do a shoot off between them. I have some more arrows on order.
Cheonji horn biocomposite bow goes up to 95# @31"!
@@peterlai9018 Yes i think so. This is supposed to be a 60# and i did not pay extra for heavy weight. Cheonji also make Gakgung so they know what they are doing.
@@KTBIOM Nice! Do you find the bow stacks from 31" to 32" draw? A few users say the biocomposite version hits a wall after 31" draw?
@@peterlai9018 no. I am drawing to 33". There is always some stacking but not enough for me to notice. It does stop when i use my 35" arrows, but that is normal. I try to draw to 33" with them, but not sure how far i go.
Does not resemble a real korean bio composite bow very much. Those "curl" backwards all he way to an "O" when unstrung . Gives tremendous sinue pretension and performance despite very sleek dimensions. Still a very beautiful bow strung , this one though.
@@vespass225 no not similar to a Gakgung 각궁 horn bow. This is a gug gung 국궁 a "national palace" bow made with modern materials like carbon and glass. There is a bio composite version of this bow with horn on the belly. Armin Hirmer did a review on his channel.

Get away from the tree branch
@@jimbrunett5025 Lol. Yes. I should have been more aware of my surroundings.
Also, midges like to congregate under the shade of branches.
@ very nice videos though. I am wanting to buy either a ktb, ymg or smg. Which do you recommend?
@@jimbrunett5025 Given that the glory days of SMG are over, a new YMG would be a better bet. I don't have a YMG yet.... But people speak highly of them. The old SMGs are reputably better than YMG but Master Park DoMin is now retired.
The basic YMG is covered with an artificial birch bark wrap. Real birch bark is an extra.
