Mongolian's conquer half of world with their mighty bows. Koreans all the time defeated by others.

The bows didnt win the battles it was their determination or Ghangiskons, idk how to spell his name yeah but it wasnt their bows that won all the battles it was their horseback tactics they all rode on horseback which is an advantage.

[5tonyvvvv]

what is the weight of the bow.??and is the bow string strong?and what is the bow string made from?

[JamesYiHa]

it depends on the bow user and the string is

strong they used flax

and other natural materials

and the weight of the bow can go really high.

[Bulgaa83]

Sucks. Buffalo horn is too tiny. Mongolians use only Yak horn.

good thing i live in PA

[malaleche240]

does sombody know where i can buy a bow like these? i want it like this, not factory materials

[recurvebows]

do you mean korean bows or composite bows? or korean composite bows? :)

[malaleche240]

i mean traditional korean bow , made with wood and organic materials. i guess korean composite bows too. where can i get them

[recurvebows]

i know people who have tartar, hun, mongolian, hungarian and turkish composite bows (thats the all-natural organic, horn-sinew-wood, etc. bow) but not one with a korean horn bow. im interested too but i just read trading of horn was banned in korea...

[malaleche240]

you mean you cant buy them anymore? or import them? bummer , i wanted a korean bow, the description of it got me all stoked plus it looks sick.... does the hun bow shoots similar to the korean bow? is it as smooth, silent and powerfull?

[recurvebows]

that is quite a lot to discuss :) i will send you my email.

[Bulgaa83]

You should buy Mongolian bow. I think Mongolian bow is much powerful and shorter than this ones. They use only Yak horn not Buffalo horn. Also you can use Mongolian bow in freezing cold weather.

[JamesYiHa]

i disagree on the much more powerful and shorter

actually they are longer

and Korean ones can stand in all weather too

the colder the better...

and Mongolian is not as complex and yak horn as bunch of notches making it weaker...

[HANtrk]

Yep you are right turkic-mongolic bows are really good..

[DLBBAM]

@Bulgaa83 Mongols prefer water buffalo horn for their bows, and if they cannot get that than they want ibex horn. They only use yak if they can't get anything else. The Korean bow and Mongolian bow are closely related forms, both descending from the same original steppe composite bows. They both adapted their bows to their specific needs and tactics. Any composite has the disadvantage of loosing strength in hot or humid or damp weather

Everyone who said you wanted one. I want to ask you something. Do you even study archery? do you even know why you want them? something like this cannot be bought, It must be earned. Please before you go on to say something like that, have some respect for those who study archery.
