Topic: New Hwarang Ordered
Hi Folks
After shooting longbows for the last few years and playing with a Mongolian style bow a bit, I've decided I am going to try my hand with the Hwarang and have ordered a 50#@ 28" model from our esteemed host - Bluelake. I chose this weight because it is the highest minimum allowed for all species of game in Canada's provinces and territories.
While my longbow draw (on bows from 70 - 100 lbs....well maybe a little shorter at 100 lbs ) is 28", my draw length with the Hwarang is going to be closer to 32". What sort of draw weight at full draw can I expect? I am expecting between 58-62#.
Lastly, I am an primitive/traditional archery geek and I enjoy all the technical aspects of bow and arrow design and manufacture. That being said, has anyone ever done a force draw curve on their Hwarang? With a power stroke of almost 27 inches I imagine the stored energy will be very impressive.
Best Regards
Kanuck
