@@bildogaggins8196 Thanks. I need to change the bow hand movement a bit. It's a bit too high and puts pressure on the outside part of my wrist. I think the current state of the Cheonjigung grip (unmodified) is too big. I stuck the jumpi with super glue and is really difficult to remove now. I'll see over Xmas if I can slowly cut it apart safely to reuse it, and modify the zoom to feel like the YMG shape.

@@jimbrunett5025 Thanks. There's so many bows, I'm trying to see what they are like. I am using a index hand protector on my right hand. ruclips.net/video/da9pAKikS9I/видео.html. Doesn't help as suck with thumb draw, but feels luxuriously soft and gentle for string twist. On my left, I am using a car fingerless driving glove, as the jumpi and hard edges of the zoom barrel on the CJG gave me a callous and then ripped it off back in the summer. It's the only bow I am using a glove on the bow hand when I take it out.

Thanks! Yes. When gojachaegi/ Khatra is down properly, you only hear the swish of the string. I know when I do something wrong when I hear a scrape (from rayskin arrow pass) or arrow slap.

@@KTBIOM Yes the same here. When I hear the arrow hitting the arrow pass I know that my form is not good.

The Alibow Segye has the same branding as the Cheonjigung. The symbol of the three legged crow. I've not shot it but it seems to be held in good esteem from what I've seen online. It's a bit short at 115cm string. This CJG is 119cm string. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-legged_crow#:~:text=In%20Korean%20mythology%2C%20it%20is,%ED%83%9C%EC%99%95%3B%20%E5%A4%AA%E7%8E%8B%3B%20lit.

@@KTBIOM That's very interesting, so much history, thanks for that,

You're welcome. I'm very curious and love history and mythology.

@@KTBIOM shooting thumb draw is a great way to feel part of history,

@kevinmaughan4290 It feels very natural to me, especially with a long draw.

Thank you. 👊🏹👍 The CJG has gone from feeling like a monster to a kitten since the YMG.

@@0ooTheMAXXoo0 Yeah. It's used in the UK to look after wooden handle tools and famously for cricket bats. As you say it's important create a water barrier and prevent mold / fungus. I have not seen it recommended for birch bark bows, but could be used too or at least worth experimenting with. A quick Google showed this advice for use on a birch bark handle knife. "The most common advice is to use boiled linseed oil (NOT "linseed oil compound")."

Yes. As much a step up from the CJG to YMG as the CJG was to the SMG. The CJG now feels quite tame by comparison. It's funny how your body can reassess and get used to the higher load so easily. My limiting factor, seems to be, my belief in myself.

@@bildogaggins8196 Cool. They are comfy aren't they?

​@@KTBIOMjust have to keep it dry and it's good!

@@DanielPadilla-w7i Thanks. Another fan of the Great Old One. 🐙🦑

@@robertclarke7807 Thank you for suggesting it and thank you for watching 👊👍🏹

@@miguelveratraditionalarche9374 Interesting. This won't prevent a dry fire but just makes me focus on one shot without the distraction of a broken skin or pain. 👊👍🏹

@@bowbender1 not meant to be impressive. I'm more shocked than anything else. It's meant to be a 75# bow. I'm starting to think i got sent the wrong bow, or that my scales are broken. I need to do a draw curve.

What did you get?

@@KTBIOM The new Kaya KTB from Martin Spörri - 52"at 44#

@Slingshotsbowsandknifes-tm4ev cool. I haven't tried a Kaya yet but a lot of people seem to like them. I like the look of the KTBs. Both the old paisley pattern and the new cork cover. Looking forward to seeing you shoot 🏹👍👊

@@KTBIOM Yes I watched a lot of videos before I order this one. It is with the new cork cover. I have never shot KTB before... :)Let see how it goes...

@Slingshotsbowsandknifes-tm4ev fast. They go fast!

For sure. I knew it was heavy but not expecting that much.

😮

@@matthewvassar9686 might have to do that when doing the draw curve. Thanks for the tip.

@@Richardsmith001 my ambition of getting to 100# has been met. Unexpectedly 😬

@@gozer87 Thanks for the tip. I've not heard that one before. I've heard mention that Japanese Sword oil is also good, but afaik it's a mineral oil. Linseed might also work, but I'll use what's worked for me. Thank you again 😁

There are several places that sell YMG bows; In no particular order; www.hwarangarchery.com/ horsebowshop.com/products/yeon-mu-gung-ymg-bow koreanbow.com/shop/en/traditional-bows/237-ktb.html www.archery.com.tw/index.php?dispatch=products.view&product_id=2778 shopee.com.my/Yeon-Mu-Gung-(YMG)-Korean-Bow-i.36019100.21142051520 I bought mine direct from YMG goongdo.com/mall/index.php?ps_mobile=on&ckattempt=1

@@wannabearcher5680 My understanding is that Dr Duvernay sources YMG to sell under his brand Hwarang. www.hwarangarchery.com/ He was the only way of getting a YMG outside of Korea for a while. I think in the past he also sold SMG as Hwarang. As such other than cosmetics YMG and Hwarang are just as good.

​@KTBIOM Thank you. I had a black shadow from freddie archery so I'm considering upgrading to a more premium korean bow. There's just many options to choose from!

@wannabearcher5680 Yeah. I know what you mean. I started with. A black Shadow but didn't like the handle.

​@@KTBIOM I'm trying to checkout on ymg website. I'm based in UK. What's the best method for checkout? Payco? Npay? They don't seem to have PayPal option 😅

You can't. Website is domestic only. You need to email Mr Kim. Use the email at the foot of the page and send him a screenshot of your order options. Other issue is that you need to pay with a direct bank transfer.

@@robertclarke7807 Yes. It was a freebie added to the Cheonjigung order by Ace Archery. I hadn't thought about this but my index finger was getting sore from string twist. I'll do a quick review next weekend and show what it is and how it looks. Quite simple to make with the right skills / tools.

ruclips.net/video/vQcQpSLcaNM/видео.htmlsi=w6nUQelKamMyfHAb If you look at around 12:45 in this video link above (don't click on the blue timestamp link as it will take you to the current video), you can see how my index finger gets roughed up from the string when doing string twist. The guard protects this area and my hand is now back to normal.

Thanks,looking forward to the video ​@KTBIOM

​@@KTBIOMThanks again

@iaintheater6027 Thanks.

@@jimbrunett5025 Sure. I did a series of videos KTB shoot off to answer this very question which i had. The 50# Daylite Archery Majesty won that shoot off. A solid, reliable, predictable and forgiving bow. It's 64#@32" and absolutely perfect for me right now. I didn't really want it to win, but I am impressed with it's performance.

@@Slingshotsbowsandknifes-tm4ev Thanks. I'll find out one day how fast it actually is. But yes. It seems to teleport arrows to the target.

@@이승표-k9l Thank you. 3 fingers did my elbow in. Thumb draw feels good with every weight. With practice you will soon be comfortable with your bow. Keep up the good work. Merry Xmas to you too.

@@jimbrunett5025 Other than a bit of speed, I think this bow in lower poundage would perform well. It's slightly shorter than other bows same size for size. The shape of the limbs slightly leafy and tapered at the arrow pass means it has a narrower arrow pass than most other KTBs. Both Agama Green and Armin Hirmer have tested the lower poundage Horn version and it seems quite good. I really like this bow.

@ thanks for answering. I enjoy your videos. I am also Latinate about archery and now I’m obsessed with these Korean style shooting. I started very low poundage as the thumb draw was so awkward at first.

@jimbrunett5025 Thank you for your comments and I am glad you enjoy the videos. I started thumb shooting before I got a thumb ring, with the 35# Freddie Archery Black Shadow. First raw, then with motorcycle gloves, then a leather tab, and finally the cheap metal thumb rings. A good sized thumb ring makes a world of difference. I am now at the stage that pulling my bows 3 fingers hurts my forearm as I not used to the strain, but I can use the thumb with no problems. Different tendons and muscle groups.

Other than a few blemishes on the birch bark, seems OK for now. Not sure if goja is meant to be offset or bent at this stage. Will keep an eye on it.

@@KTBIOM I’m waiting the arrival of a 45# KTB2 bow. How do you think they compare?

@@jimbrunett5025 Kaya KTB 2 or Freddie Archery Authentic KTB2? I have not shot either so have no comparison basis. Just whatever is available on YT for comparison.

Thank you for answering my questions. I like hearing about these bows as I have become very interested in these koerean bows and thumb draw. I have always shot traditional and have a few longbows and recurves. What nock do you use on string? Brass or tie your nocks?

@@jimbrunett5025 Just a single nock on top, except on the Majesty. I cocked up and put it too low, so put another in and now sits between both. I usually use serving material.

Yeah. I'm waiting for 200 spine arrows. Once I get and test them, I'm hoping to do a speed test of the YMG and CJG which is much overdue. Might also redo the Majesty for a baseline. Need dry weather, not too sunny and little to no wind.

@KTBIOM The weather has been repeatedly awful. I would say don't rush into doing speed tests although you do look to have been pulling it with confidence.

@mrln247 Yes it has been recently. I was getting some sideways arrows with the CJG and actually hid a vane on the chronograph bending it. Hoping I can improve my release and experiment with stiffer arrows to get better flight. It will take some time, as seen with the CJG but will happen. Maybe in the spring.

@@Ronnietay269 goongdo.com/mall/index.php

@@ReignXp SMG are not the same as they used to be. Cheonji is good but tricky to get. Knowing what I know now, and if I could only had one bow, I'd just have the Daylite Majesty. They're relatively affordable, Daylite delivers fast, they have good pedigree, and a good after sales warranty for peace of mind. The Monarq has a good reputation and I would recommed it as a first Korean bow.

​@@KTBIOMthanks so much!🙂

@@johnf3f810 I get a real buzz out of it. The more effort I put in, the more enjoyment I get. Could be a dopamine thing. It's been a steady progression. With each bow, I've gone up in weight, and each one has felt more satisfying than the previous one. For me, it's not accuracy or hitting the target that is fun. If it was I might as well shoot a crossbow or compound. For me, I like to be able to shoot a bow, with all my body, at a boss, without breaking any arrows. I'd rather have a 12" group, than a 3" group, to minimise breaking arrows. I do it for fun. I also don't want to injure myself. I am learning technique too. It's not just about strength. sites.google.com/view/beyond-strength/home#h.p_ZRotrVkXU_kt Over here there is no clout, so I shoot short-ish distances, and I prefer a flat trajectory that higher poundage bows provide. Sorry to hear about your injury. It's a real concern to me, as I don't want to have to stop archery.

Thank you! You too!

@@DanielPadilla-w7i Thank you

@@Richardsmith001 That is outstanding. I'm hoping to get to 100#, but 127# feels out of this world.

@@StevensArcheryJourney Thank you. It certainly is.

@@bildogaggins8196 No. The jumpi was already on the bow. I was planning on doing a jumpi wrap video, but not needed now.

​@@KTBIOMdoes the current one fit your hand? i saw your other bows having bigger joompi

@@bildogaggins8196 It actually fits quite nicely. Its bigger than the Majesty. I'll use this as a model when I cut the SMG and CJG down.

B-e-a-utiful! I enlarged my Monarq handle, adding a small tapered bump in the front similar to turkish style bows I have seen. Very similar shape to this, I see. I love it so much more. Adding a point of reference and grip control. Thank you for sharing. This is a much needed video. Just, gorgeous! I'm so happy for you, getting your new bow!!!

@@solhoibaturu There is slight tapering but not a lot. Not as much as Cheonji.

@@이승표-k9l Great to hear about your progress. Grades, ranks and points can be very distracting. I think this is why archery teaches humility. If we just focus on shooting, everything else will come down the line. If we focus on the status, the shooting will suffer and we achieve nothing. All we can do is have more practice, and to practice more. Keep up the good work 💪 👍

Thanks.

With shipping and extra $30 for birch bark, I think it came to about $275.

Btw a quick question if you don't mind. Which Korean bow should I get with a budged £200-£350? Thank you!

@@Slingshotsbowsandknifes-tm4ev Thanks. Trying. Always practicing

@@Slingshotsbowsandknifes-tm4ev Depends on what you like. Traditional or modern? I would recommend a Korean grip rather than slim ones. Merlin Archery has a selection of bows in the sub £200 range. The Freddie Archery Dragon and Warrior seems good. I think they are naked HMG / Monarq. If you like the Monarq/ Majesty Daylite Archery website is good and fast. They also sell on Amazon and eBay. Shop around. If you like the traditional ones you need to buy from Korea and it gets a bit trickier. What do you like?

Lo aprendí de mis abuelas, una española, pero desde que emigré no le he practicado en casi 30 años. Estoy intentando recuperar mi lengua natal.
