Title: about performance
Post by: Aries on July 13, 2015, 03:53:12 pm

I am really getting interested in Korean horn bows and the like and am considering taking on the endeavour.  How does the performance of these things compare to an all wood recurve or long bow of similar poundage?
Thanks for your input.

When you shoot Korean hornbow, you must use thumbring and very long draw - 32-33 inch, then performance is impressive. When you shoot with fingers and 28" performance is comparable to good wooden recurve
