Topic: New Hwarang vs Old Hwarang
I just got my new Hwarang a couple days ago and wanted to compare it to the Hwarang that was bought used from a fellow who had gotten it from a few years back. The first thing that I noticed is the new bow is longer, but with a narrower arrow pass then the older bow. The bow itself has a little more reflex when unstrung compared to the older bow. I also like the grip on the new bow better the older one which had the hemp where as the new one has a great leather handle. It not only looks nice but really feels great in the hand.
Tuning wise the biggest issue is the serving is bigger so I had to open up my nocks on my carbon arrows, but that really is not an issue. The self nocked bamboo arrows I have fit like a glove.
Shooting wise it is hard to compare because this one is a heavier draw weight, but it is of course very smooth and feels about 10# lighter than the marked draw weight. It is very fast, I actually may chrono the bow to see just how fast. It shoots very flat and I was shooting good groups after just a couple arrows.
I will be taking it hunting next weekend so hopefully I will have some food to report on. I will also post some pictures to show the difference.
