Koreans don't have a weakness - everyone else does, hence why Koreans win. There are few places in the world that htey put so much dedicated effort into their sport.
Once you have developed good biomechanical form holding immensely heavy bows isn't too hard, most pro men shoot 45 - 50lb. That said if you AREN'T a professional you probably shouldn't go much beyond 42 unless you are really serious about training.
Lastly - beyond 50lb you cease to gain much in performance form a recurve.

I understand what you mean. My arguement is, korean men can only win world championship, but not Olympic game.
I suppose men archers who attend Olympic game will also attend world championship, am I right?

korea had very high expectation for them...and it is harder to win in men category than the women since the men category do have many strong archer.
