Here in Korea most hornbows, if not all bows, are bought directly from the bowyers either by directly contacting them by phone or through the purchasing person at a club. Phoning the bowyer has the problem of language. I've dealt with the same bowyer for 20 years so I can't say if other bowyers can speak English, but likely that's the case. Not to be too negative or to discourage you, but there is this: Using a hornbow has a steep learning curve. As this video shows, there are a lot of movements of string and bow limbs. A hornbow has to be tuned carefully/precisely to allow those movements to happen without the bow unstringing. That takes time and skill not obtained easily. Korean archers go through a slow process of learning to shoot the carbon equivalent of a hornbow, the former being much less flexible than the latter and more tolerant to an archers shooting form. When an archer decides to make the progression to a hornbow, usually after a year or two of carbon bow practice, it is done with the help of an experienced hornbow archer as a mentor/teacher. The archer has to learn the personality of their bow as every bow behaves differently. I currently have four hornbows and every one of them tunes differently. I have to find the precise nature of each and tune accordingly. This is something that takes time to acquire.

@@notapplicable531 I have no issues learning how to use the Korean hornbow. Currently, I own a Manchu hornbow and I should receive a Mongolian one soon.

@@yerde Your confidence may be well founded. Then again maybe not. All that is irrelevant unless you can get your hands on a Korean hornbow. I could give you a list of bowyers, their company's names and phone numbers, but you'd run into the language barrier. The list is several years old and there are likely are a few changes in it as well. One other factor is that the demand for bows exceeds the number of bows being made. The bowyer I've been dealing with has a two year waiting list and is no longer accepting orders from archers he hasn't previously dealt with. How it is for other bowyers, I don't know. That aside, I'm not sure that being proficient with a Manchu bow would be a great amount of help with learning to use a Korean bow, but I am hardly qualified to make that kind of judgement. One thing more. Should you get your hands on a Korean hornbow, make sure you also get a pair of bow forms. Those are the curved wooden pieces with cords on each end that you see archers using before stringing their bows. They are an absolute must with new bows as new bows have not settled into a steady/stable shape. Whether a novice hornbow archer, or experienced master archer, all will use the forms with new bows. I know of no exceptions to this practice. All the best. I'd like to say I hope your pursuit in this goes well because the sound of a hornbow breaking is a heartbreaking experience that you never want to go through. And I should apologize for sounding so negative, but...

@@notapplicable531 thanks 🙏. Nothing wrong with your comment. You are right. I've watched lots of videos about gakgung, building phase, stringing, shooting. I own 2 modern replicas. YMG and kaya new ktb.

@@yerde We're developing quite the conversation here. So, you're familiar with what i call hornbow similarities rather than replicas, replicas being bows made to say a previous era's bows. I know an archer/bowyer from another club who makes replicas of the bows and other equipment from the Joseon Kingdom circa the 1500's. Those I would call replicas. They have the same materials, dimensions, colours and feel of the originals. Given that any bows built with carbon fibre tend to be a little longer than hornbows, the ones made today have flat limbs both front and belly, whereas hornbows are curved on both sides. The closest carbon bows to hornbows were ones made about 23 years ago. Even those were longer and stiffer than hornbows and shot a little differently. The 2002 carbon bow I use in winter, while being the same poundage and shape, but a little longer, shoots differently than my winter hornbow. I can't use the same form for both. And the whole point of using it in winter is to stay in form for using a hornbow the rest of the year. Anyhow, that is not what is important or central to what we really are discussing here. That is how do you get a hornbow. For now I'm more or less at a loss as to how that can be done, although there is one thing I could look into.

안녕하세요!!! 화살을 얼굴에 대고 쏘는대에는 몇가지 이유가 있긴 합니다. 이유까지 설명 드리기엔 장황해져서 조준점만 말씀 드릴게요. 활의 세기와 화살의 무게, 기온에 따라 약간씩 달라지긴 하는데요, 줌손의 엄지 아래 어복(볼록 튀어나온 부분)의 반원 부분으로 조준 합니다.
