Topic: Need Info! New to Korean Bows and Archery
Ahneonghaseyo! Greetings from the US!
As the topic says I am new and interested in Korean Archery, more for the practical side of it than the traditional side. The Korean bow seems to be the most efficient and compact.
My interest first came when I was back visiting Korea and my family and I went to an Archery Museum.
My first question is, where does one start to learn the How of Archery Korean and in general? I have played around with a standard recurve hunting bow that was in our basement but nothing formal.
Second, what bows (non-traditional materials) are available for purchase in the US? Doesn't have to be pretty, looking for durability in one that doesn't mind beating around the bush for day in warm or cold or wet weather.
Third, (related to the first) How do I know what size, what weight, etc? I am 5'11 or 180 cm, slender but firm build. The hunting bow I played with was 45#.
Any and all suggestions greatly appreciated!
