자려고 마빡 베개에 로그인 하는데,유튜브 알고리즘이 이제는 하다 하다 외국에 사는 외국인이 한국 각궁을 리뷰하는 영상까지 보라며 꼬드기네..
각궁 정확히 맞나요?? 활에 뿔 재료 부분이 안보이는데
각궁아니고 양산형 나무활 같은데
@@수면등
저건 한국에서 한국산 나무로 만든 개량궁쯤으로 보여지네요.
영상에도 적혀있는데
연무궁이라고 한국에서 만든 각궁입니다
각궁은 말그대로 물소뿔이 사용되고
얇게 잘라져 활대 겉면에 붙여집니다
나중에는 화피로 감싸기 때문에 눈으로 봤을때
뿔모양이나 색이 보이지 않습니다
각궁이면 활을 풀었을 때 저 모양이 아니죠. 개량궁입니다.
I think unfinished handle is due to the personalization. Pretty much every Korean bow handle will be modified to the individuals hand after the purchase. We will cut, sand, and sometimes put on extra layers of tennis grip over the handle to make it as personal as possible. Beginners will have thicker handles, and it will get leaner as your skill progresses most of the times.
How do you normally trim and cut the handle? Just using knife?🤔
It's Korean composite bow called Gak-Gung which means 'Horn Bow'.
It's because slice very thin horn is put in between wooden material.
They glued together by bull's cartilage glue that is very vulnerable to humid air condition than anyother bow kinds so they had to keep dry, but in summer season it is hard.
The first king of Jo-sen Dynasty, Lee seong-gye, when he throw up Goryeo kingdom write the letter of returning army to Capital city that was "Its consecutive heavy rainy days so bow glue has weekened we can't fight and returning army."
It is powerful as much as long bow in spite of short length, it had to be maintenance very carefully.
This one isn't a horn bow
@@BibtheChib It's not horn bow even oldone and nowadays we got much better material we don't use it if is not made old style
ITS COMPOSITE BOW
The word "Jo-sen" is not correct. It's Joseon. It's a Japanese pronunciation during the Japanese ganglion period. Thank you.
It was very relaxing and enjoyable to watch you review the bow. Congratulations on acquiring one of the finest bows in the world.
활시위를 양궁처럼 검지, 중지로 당기는 게 아니라 엄지로 당기고, 화살통을 등이 아닌 허리춤에 차는 등 외국 분인데도 틀린 부분 거의 없이 완벽하네요.
몽골리안식 그건 기본이죠. 한국 사극이나 사극영화에서 검지중지로 당기는거 보면 진짜 내적고통 오집니다. ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 등에 안차는건 처음알았음.
역시 전문가...
우리나라는 엄지랑 검지쓰나요?
@@inx2853 전통방식은 엄지와 검지를 이용해서 화살을 잡고 쏩니다
아니죠, 오른손 엄지에 깍지를 끼고 시위를 잡아 귀 옆에 위치 시킨다음 왼팔을 밀면서 내려오는거에요. 그 다음에 왼팔 팔꿈치 각도를 틀면 오랜동안 활을 당기고 있을 수 있게되죠. 그 다음에 시위를 잡고있던 오른손을 펼치면서 활을 쏘는 겁니다. 국궁은 밀어쏘지 당겨쏘지 않아요. 저렇게 당겨쏘면 몇파운드짜리 활을 쏘든 몇 번 당기기도 힘들고, 당기면서 버티는게 매우 힘들어집니다.
Another great Korean bow... YMG is now on my wish list.
저건 신소재로 만든 개량궁이어서 전통 각궁처럼 역반원형으로 휘어질 필요가 없는 제품입니다. 기능은 동일한 활입니다.
그리고 솔레나리온 이라는 편전과 똑같은 무기가 비잔틴 시대에 이미 있었습니다. 서양 활마니아들이 편전같은 활을 처음보는게 아닙니다.
동의합니다

애초에 환빠들이 모든것의 원조는 한국이라고 우기니까 문제이지요.

UA-cam guided me to your vid.
Nice to see Korean Bow on your channel.
Korea has deep relationship with our Bow throughout various wars, Heros and 의병 (Righteous army) who protected our Country, Korea. Thanks for showcasing our history.
Rear sound of the bow. Beautiful in speed also
Kia ora Armin! Most “archery experts” ??? On UA-cam would NEVER admit that the draw weight of a bow was beyond their abilities. Your frankness an honesty is refreshing and appreciated. Kia mihi! Is there a reason that Korean bows have different upper and lower tillers? The difference on limb flexion is quire apparent to me. Ripper review!
Hey bro, are you based in NZ and are you shooting Korean bows?
For those who may be interested: The manufacturing of Korean bows were state secret during the Joseon Dynasty. The Chinese constantly wanted to know how the bows were made; they constantly sent spies to find out. Traditionally, Korean bows were laminated bows with various materials including bull's horns. Yeah, you will be surprised how advanced the Korean bows are. They are NOT just made with dried wood. A good bow will take over a year to make it. The making of the bows were controlled and overlooked by the government ministries. Supposedly, just like the Turkish recurve bows, Korean bows are farther shooting and highly penetrating but are smaller than any other bows. Thus, soldiers on horseback can carry and shoot it with ease. Historically, the Koreans, unlike the Japanese, preferred the bow in warfare. You don't want to mess with the Koreans with bows in warfare. Highly recommend the Korean movie "War of Arrows". Google it. I think Netflix had it on their offerings. It's an excellent movie. You will like it.
Source that China sent spies to find out about how Korean bows were made? Sounds like BS to be honest.
@@sonik120 then give me a source. You realize how common an item a bow is? You're telling me they couldnt just pay some guy who makes bows to tell them how its made? Bows are incredibly common and its incredulous to believe that they couldnt pay some bowmaker to tell them. Plus the Mongolians also made similar recurve bows. State secret bow making technology during the Joseon period??? Its ridiculous lol. So give me a source.
@@sonik120 what nonsense are you spouting. Give me a source, not your bs.
@Nikas Explores you got some strange history false information. Korean composite bow are 3 times of range against Japanese long bow. Even 3 year old kid knows Koreans dominate summer Olympics archery. When is Japan won gold metal in archery in Olympic????
@Nikas Explores oh, I am sorry if you are mad or a mad man. 😠
I have the same bow but at only 45 lb draw weight ... I met the bowyer Mr. Kim in Korea last summer, he was very helpful. Glad I got YMG bow.
A YMG bow! I've always wondered how they performed and if they lived up to the hype! I'm definitely watching this after work today, but I'm loving these reviews of different Korean traditional bows, especially going from beginner and lower end into higher end!
와! 국궁을 여기서 보게 되다니 놀랐습니다. 소개해 주셔서 감사합니다.
This bow is one of the reason why we are still called Korea.
You are correct! China and Japan attacking us till today
@@anothergooday2533 And all the in-fightings you guys had since the beginning of time
@@alchemistjeff unfortunately
As far as I'm aware, Korean bows did little to stop concentrated, well-applied firearms and tactics for such. If anything, naval power and potent alliances saved Korea. The Japanese, it has to be said, repeatedly outfought Korean land troops in possession of these bows. It might be a better bow, but it sure isn't the reason Korea still exists.
A traditional Korean bow is one of extremely powerful and long range bows in the world. Its max range is 250~300 meters. It needs potent power even to pull a string and takes a long time to do it successfully for the beginners. From long ago It's been said in the Far East Asia that Korea is a land of bows, China is a land of spears and Japan is a land of swords.
That's interesting because historical records suggest English longbows generally reached a maximum of 300~350 meters, with 200 being a minimum acceptable range. That was probably due to constant practice by archers from a young age, as the lack of recurve didn't really force. Still, Korean and other recurve bows must be more accessible and powerful, if finicky due to problems with moisture and difficult to mass produce quickly.
@@niclas9990 As I tried, it went 300-400 metres which made me to ride bike all the day just to collect the arrows.
@@niclas9990 KTBs definitely have a higher ability to shoot at range, an owner of a Hwarang bow accidentally shot at 380m at a clout shoot and it went over a highway! But I can imagine that the higher poundage English longbows reached great distances, and some of the strongest archers today shoot English longbows. I'm unsure of the gpp historical longbows used to use though.
@@niclas9990 the long bows that I shot wouldn’t shoot anywhere near 350 yards had to cut down the fletching and lighten up the arrow just to get it to go to 225 yards
Swords were only secondary weapons. Chinese and Japanese had bows to. All cultures used spears.
Great review! We Korean practice it with 145m distance target. I hope you will own real 'Bison horn' bow someday.
I have this bow in 85# and its awsome!
I asked freddy for an arrow weight, and he told me the arrows should have 30g /460grn wich is 5,4 grn/lbs
and it doesn't feel like dryfiring at all.
Awsome bow, awsome review as always.
Grüße Lukas /luk.bow
Thanks for this knowledge. I have been trying to find out what is the gpp limit for my 78# Cheonjigung. I am now using 475grain for 6gpp. Previously 425grainnfor 5.6gpp.
Wow it's quite impressive to me there's so many people like bows. If you wanna know more about Korean traditional bows, I recommend you to watch a movie : War of the arrows (2011. 최종병기 활). You can see various kinds of Korean bows in that movie.
Or you can just meet them in "kingdom" more easily. haha. Thank you for good video!
I highly recommend watching The Bow (Korean title: Hwal) a 2005 film. It's a historical era action movie which showcases the Korean bow and how it was used. I loved it. Thanks for the video.
@@FFSixtyFour my bad confused with different one.
I love that movie too

Daylite archery sells 95lb@31" Korean bows for a lot cheaper and so far mine is working well for a few months now
yes the bow is good
shoots faster than my 140lb@32
Powerful bow with nice shape and colour
Hello! That is a nice Korean bow. As for the bow handle, it should be wrapped with a leather which they call joompi/jumpi (I don't know the Korean alphabet translation of that sorry). When you buy a KTB, there should be a joompi included for you to wrap it to your bow handle. When I bought my KTB, I got the bow itself, bow bag, bow sock, 2 pcs of string and 2pcs joompi. Too bad they did not include the wrap with you. And yes, it is expensive. There are other KTB shops that sell YMG for 300 USD. I hope they ship their products through private shipping companies to justify the price.
In the Korean alphabet, Joompi can be written as 줌피.
This guy is giving me insane ASMR. Something in his calm way of talking
What is ASMR? but thank you
@@ArminHirmer It just means you have a calm soothing voice, but not in a wierd way.
Haven’t watched your videos in a while and the production quality has definitely gone up again since the last one I saw. Nice 👍
I want one now. Beautiful bow. That rubber is tremendously of importance.
Unlike English bows and Japanese bows, Korean bows make one bows by combining water buffalo horns, tendons, and bamboo birch trees. Of course, it takes a lot of effort and time to make the bow more expensive. The Korean bow has various pulling forces ranging from 40 to 55 pounds, but most beginners of the use of "45 pounds" bows at a speed of 50~55 m/s (170 fps). I hope this information helps. :)
The bow is very light, easy to use, and flies away quickly and more super sonic speeds : )
The name Korea originated from Ancient Korea(means in Korean 고려, the abbreviation of 고구려) dynasty. The first King of Ancient Korea was a perfect archer.
It originated from Kore/Core/Kurie/Guryu not Koguryu, which means a crown or ring.
@@juliannalee4381 고려라는 이름이 고구려를 계승한다는 의미로 지었다고요. 고구려를 줄여서 고려라고 불렀다고 해요
@@haPpYtGEtHear People of Koguryu called their country G/Kuryu, although it is likely their subjects would be known by their clan names. Ko is the prefix later annotated by their late descendants after the later three Kingdom period - Koryu.
@julianna lee 이분 포인트 못잡으시네..
고려시대에 한국이 서양에 알려지면서 '고려'라는 말에서 corea/korea라는 표기가 시작돼 한국을 Korea라고 서양에서 부르게 됐잖아요.
근데 그 '고려'라는 이름은 사실은 고려시대 이전에 고구려에서 따온거라고요. 고구려 때도 고려라고 줄여서 부르기도 했고, 왕건이 고구려 계승의 의미로 고려라고 이름 붙였다고요.
근데 고구려 시조인 '고'주몽은 활을 잘 쏘기로 유명 했죠. 우연이지만 고려korea라는 이름을 매개로 해서 활이랑 엮은 거예요. 저는 그냥 그 얘기 한 겁니다.
고(구)려라는 글자 뜻 얘기 한 거 아니구요;;;
@@juliannalee4381 님이 주장하는 바와 같이 원래 구려인데 '고'를 후손들이 붙였다고 해도(저는 모르는 얘긴데), '고'를 얼마나 나중에 붙였는지는 몰라도 최소한 삼국시대에도 고구려 또는 고려라고 불렸습니다.
혹시 조선과 고조선을 얘기하는건 아니죠? 고조선은 이씨조선에 와서 '고'를 추가했죠
Beast! Both bow and the bearded man shooting it. 😮🙂
Awesome looking Korean bow. Seemed excellent in every way. Just really heavy. I have one bow now that runs around 60# at 32" and by the time I get to 75 arrows or so I'm busted and need to take a break. But the good thing is when I pick up a 45# bow it feels like it's a kids toy Lol. thank you Freddie archery for letting us get a look at this monster and thank you Armin for trying like hell to show us it's potential.
I had the same feeling shooting my 60 lbs at 30 and then shooting with my father's bow, a 40lbs at 28 the difference is astonishing.
I find it's good to have a "strength bow" for the same reason - your regular bow starts to feel like a toy that you can easily handle.
@@Marmocet yes my friend such a true statement
Chinese called ancient Korean 'Yi'(夷). 夷 means a man(大 also means big) with the bow(弓).
not 大 -> 人
@@greatgrea No. It's 大. Nowadays it means 'big' but in this letter (夷 ) 大 means 'man'. Letter yi(夷) shows us the shape of 'a man is holding a bow'. This kinda letter called 'Huiyizi'会意字.
another theory, 夷 means 人(man) + 尸(man or dead body). and Dong-Yi (東夷) means east babarian in sinocentrism. not just korean but other east group. not good word for we
@@김태양-v2f No. 尸 sometimes meant 夷 but how can 人 + 尸 become 夷? very old chinese dictionary Shuowenjiezi 说文解字 explains 夷 as 从大从弓. and Yes. 夷 and modern Korean are not 100% same. And 夷 wasn't very good word for korean. But this letter夷 well distinguished the people in the east(more and less korean) from their own(more and less chinese).
@@김태양-v2f you are right.
Very informative and illuminating, Armin. Thanks for the video. I actually have that YMG at 100#. The master was nice enough to custom make one for me. Unfortunately, like yourself, I'm still working hard towards full draw. I really wonder how you manage such beautiful khatra even at a poundage beyond your current strength.
luck :)
Information : YMG is mass product model, not a traditional type in korea
Wow, did you visit YMG? Which length did you order?
Thanks for this lovely clip. If I can put one advice as a Korean, Korean traditional bow is supposed to be drawn to the ear and even beyond sometimes. Please try it in full draw after googling image of Korean archery and you will find its range reaches more than 100 yards.
The distance to the target of the Korean bow is 145 meters (475 feet).
사실 145는 일본척으로 재서 그런거고 120보를 세종시대나 경국대전척으로계산하니 150 미터정도더군요
From wikipedia
The Korean Bow (Korean: 각궁, Gak-gung hanja: 角弓, or horn bow) is a water buffalo horn-based composite reflex bow, standardized centuries ago from a variety of similar weapons in earlier use [1]. Due to its long use by Koreans, it is also known as Guk Gung (Korean: 국궁 hanja: 國弓, or national bow).
❤
The very first shot after Armin strung the bow almost sounded like a gunpowder weapon!
Portuguese missionary who followed Japanese army in Japan Korea War in 16th century wrote that Korean soldiers had Turkish bow. Turkish, Mongolian, Korean bows are very similar to each other. I think it's a kind of common shape among nomadic tribes living in Asia.
I think the reason why is because at its peak, the Mongol empire extended from Korea all the way to modern day Turkey, so what I think happened there is the mongol style spread to those regions which explains the similarities.
Actually, Turks were one of the tribes that formed Goguryo. Hence why there might be some similaries between the two.
i want to see him tries the Korean horn bow. And baby arrow also.
You are Awesome! Mr. Armin .Wow what a war machine. If I was impressed however you shot it and I think very well. wow. Keith shoot super nice. If it's war. Cheers to all in Malta, nice day.
Hi Armin,
I have this bow with 50" lenght and rated at 60 pounds at 31" ! That should give it a poundage of around 52 Pounds at 28"
Yes, it is a wonderful bow !!
The longer 50" version is probably even smoother to draw ( only for us Europeans, Koreans always shoot the short versions ! )
Compared to my other bows, mine seems to have a heavier poundage than advertised ( like yours )
But again, YMG bows are near the top end of the market when it comes to Korean bows, for sure !!
I have never seen the korean bow so closely like this. thanks for your explanation.
No thumb down. that is good. This channel is great. And that blow seems to me is not for me that I am a beginner.
For now you are the only non-Korean archer who uses ggakji 깍지 (that auxiliary ring when you draw the bow). I have been learning bow here in Korea. I am using 50pound 현무궁(Hyun Mu Gung) and Elders make sure to draw my bow at full draw. So I suggest you to do the same! With 65! You said you can’t for now but you will be able to later!
UA-cam algorithm brought me here. But, that Korean old bow looks legit.
저도 밤에 자려고 누웠다가 이분 영상 보게 되었는데 자막있는 (영상으로 ㅎㅎ) 설명도 잘해주시고 실제 사용시범도 보이셔서 굉장히 흥미로웠어요~^^ 생각도 안해본 활영상을 찾아보게 될줄이야 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Great video! I am not an archer but I do know Korean history. I recommend trying to shooting "Pyun Jeon" or baby arrows. The baby arrows were the secret weapon of Josen. Because the arrows were significantly shorter, it said that one could fire the arrow further and with more speed. And because the arrows were little, enemies had a hard time detecting the archers, making these the ultimate stealth arrow back in the day.
korean archer said " sordman need DEX, archer need STR, this is not game but real "
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅇㅈㅇㅈ
This is great video! I wish that you also try the traditional Korean Bow 'Gakgung', made with real horn. That one doesn't make any noise. Smaller string noise when you shoot. 😉
I have this bow in 40lbs, but with a black belly and it has a leather wrap over the rubber handle. I got it at Hwarang bow. It's a really fun shooter.
His voice is somehow soothing. Nice.
Great bow. I love the Korean Bows. Could you please review the Gakgung bow from Korean Archery? I know it is pricey but it is an incredible bow!
I hope that one day I will get my hands on
that cost of traditional bow is over $6000
That is practice wooden bow, one of summer bow which is sub-main bow. That one is easy to use, less prepare time, inexpensive and perfect for entry level starters compare to Horn Bow(Prime Bow)
Horn bow reached over 600M shoot with small arrow and cylinder.
I can see your love for the field of bowing in the video
Had this bow for 6 years. 45 lbs and a different grip, about 200$ when I bought it in Korea. Saw it on Freddie Archery and figured you’d get to a review eventually. Great to see it through a professional archer’s eyes and get your thoughts, thanks!

Could you put the micro near the camera when the camera is near the target pls? I love to hear the sound of a bow from a distance and the sound of the arrow flying before touching the target. It would be also a good indicator for those who are looking for a silent bow like me^^.
Given Freddie's history of customer service, I was surprised to see another review of one of their products
What do you mean?
Hmm sir maybe you can explain about it? Is there any issues before this about Freddie Archery?
Cuz I'm quite interested to grab a YMG bow. If there are any issues about them pls tell us... Hope to hear some answers from you🙏
Korea bow is made with some wood and bamboo and water buffalo's horn.
I hope you try 편전(Pyeon-jeon) with 애깃살(Aegisal) this two is set item. I'm not sure with english but can be call baby arrow.
I would like to see a comparison between Korean bow and Malaysian Teratai bow
The two-tone lamination is gorgeous
You can pull easily without difficulty by learning the basic posture of pulling the Korean bow (Gukgung) bow in Korean.Look up the video of Korean bow..
I'm Korean!! It is nice video!!
Wonderful!!
Even though I'm a Korean, I've shot just several times in my life..
As you know, my ancestors are physically not a big or strong persons in comparison with western persons, but the bow itself is very strong because it is made to combine several different kinds of woods and pieces of horn of water cows together.(a kind of composite material..,I'm not sure whether yours are treal treditional one or modern one)
So, when we pull the string, we normally use two arms together, one push, the other pull at the same time(dual action).
By doing so, you can pull the string more easily..
The korean bows can be used as a direct aim shooting weapon, but also widely be used as a indirect high angle launcher on both real battle field or hunting yards, so, depends on the strength of the bow, shoot the arrow over 300 meters.(needs alot of practice to aim properly....)
And, with thumb ring, arm protector is required for safe shooting, when releasing the string, the string hits inside of your arm...
Thanks and hope Good Luck with you!!
Has anyone tested efficiency of now to bow. Really would be curious to compare draw force curve and efficiency of a longbow that a horse bow to Korean etc.
I've been waiting for this review for awhile. This was a great shooting bow but I think it has serious stacking issues past 30", even with the 50" version that was claimed to work for my original 34" draw. I even reduced my draw to 32" but I thought the stacking was not good for my form. The first bow I received, which I didn't have for long enough to do a full draw curve was 50#/31" & 94#/34." The last bow I had that I had enough time to do a full draw curve had these results. Basically if you are shooting 31" on the 50" version I think this bow will work for you but if you have a longer draw then I would stay away from this one.
28" = 41.3
29" = 44
30" = 47.3
31" = 50.9
32" = 55.2
33" = 61
34" = 69.4
yeah im surprised they dont specify the draw length. really doubt 40+ lb bow under 50” can be drawn over 30”. never seen such thing from any korean or turkish bow shop.
50" version is more of a 32" draw bow.
Nice... always liked korean bows. I hope to get this one in 45# -50#.

Recommending the Korean movie 'War of the Arrows'. The most powerful korean archery technique is called '편전'.
Im korean. Korean bow is My father’s favorite bow. Your video make me think about him.
Thank you
Sir, as far as I know, that animal horns have been shaved several times to increase elasticity.
But in the video, it doesn't look like a bow made of horns.
Is it a derivative?
Not a horn bow
It's not typical korean composite bow(gakgung; recurved horn bow). It's bamboo bow(jookgung) for practice, not for battle.

@@ArminHirmer I'm exited to watch both reviews! I would love to see a chronograph test. Also if you can get a scale and measure the weight of the arrows on camera that would give me confidence when measuring the kinetic energy of these shots. Godspeed!
I always mention the weigh of the arrows and write the gpp in the list
Amazing performance. The Power comes from the the material such as tendon and the water buffalo horn 🤟🏻
The big guy with the full draw looks really cool and dangerous! ;)
Yes, but he talks too much. 😎
The Korbin Dallas school of public speaking 😄
That's called not being impertinent.
I love the part you stand on the fort wall in ancient outfit! Where is it? Is it from some other video of yours?
These are the Victoria lines in Malta and I had my Manchu outfit for this photo shooting
That's it! I'm going to get this bow! I think it the closest you can get to a traditional korean bow without getting one made out of senew and horn, but still looks like it is. The birch surface is gorgeous! And the yellow-ish belly makes it look natural the whole way though.
Really impressive how you shoot it. I would go to the hospital for a muscle strain
muscles are fine, my broken shoulder is the problem
Also, Korean bows are great. You are also nice to review
우리의 전통 활을 사랑해줘서 고마워!!!
Thank you for love our bow!!!!!
Now YMG bow with black belly.. is black belly is made from horn?
아저씨 생긴거랑 말투 무슨 전직 왕궁 전속 궁수 교관 이런거였을 것 같냐 ㅋㅋㅋ
Thank you for the review. I do recommend you watch a famous Korean movie related with Archers "War of the arrows, 2011".
2nd viewing and this time, I’m commenting. Another super review. I love your honest and genuine approach in all your reviews. 8:20! Who is the Iron Maiden!?! Very cool inclusion.
He looks happy
I agree with JUSTICE. It is not real Korean traditional bow. There are no reinforced materials on bow center and grip and Korean traditional bow is composite materials weapon. Cow horn and chestnut wood or mulberry wood are on bamboo body for reinforcement such as strengthen and elastic power. Depends on archers' skill, usual effective range is 150~ 200 meters.
I heard Korean ancient army used 90-100lbs bow. And a arrow could fly over 200meters.
Yes of course
The bow you are introducing is for practice. This is an introductory bow used before using the traditional Korean bow. Place a target at a distance of 145 meters, shoot 5 shots, and repeat 5 times to cover the match. The effective range is about 250 meters and is for long distances. This is a very dangerous sport, so you must follow the safety rules.
Thanks. I enjoyed this video.
I am looking but can't find it in the 95# version only up to 60#. Any advice where to find 95?
What I really love about Korean bows is that they're like horse bows, but look more balanced in size and bend, don't have huge seers like Hun bows (don't like them) and most of all, I really like narrow limb bows.
Korean bows tick all of the above.
I think they are the fastest horsebows as well
The name of this bow is Yeonmugung.
in korean archery , you hold up your bow on your head and devide it equalry like a butter fly in gym. and aim and shoot front side for shooting on horse
각궁은 아니지만 양산형 치고는 좋은편임
각궁은 뭐임??? 국궁의 다른말인가?
capetina 영어로 쓰면 horn bow 즉, 소나, 염소, 산양의 뿔을 나무 등의 다른 재료와 합성해서 만드는 활의 일종입니다.
물소뿔을 넣어 만든 복합궁입니다..
옛날부터 만들어온 전통활을 각궁이라고 하고, 활보관은 점화장이라는 곳에서 온도와 습도 조절해서 보관 합니다.
저런 카본궁은 일반인들이 국궁을 쉽게 접하도록 제작한거지만, 각궁을 쏘면 쏘는 느낌이 다름니다..
@@fichehwang732 왜 난리신가. ㅋㅋㅋ 각궁 관리 못해서 날려먹기라도 하셨어요? 개량궁 썻다고 꼽준것도 아닌데 심통부리고 있네.
님은 개량궁 쓰시고 싶으면 개량궁 쓰시고요. 각궁 쓰고 싶은 사람은 쓰면 되는거고. 전통방식대로 만든다고 난리인건 또 뭐여 ㅋㅋㅋ
@@fichehwang732 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 잘 모르느데 웃겨서 웃어봤습미다..
What do you think the max draw length would be for the 47" version?
