I always wanted to learn shooting traditional Korean bows but I couldn't have the opportunity to learn it. Thanks for your video. It was very interesting for me. Hope you try more traditional Korean bows! Have a great day :) [P.S. Many people say that Korea was the country of Bow. China was the country of Spear. Japan was the country of Sword.]

It is said that the string material of the bow during the Joseon Dynasty was made by synthesizing cattle tendon, cattle horn powder, and cotton thread with an adhesive. Then you can control the tension of the string.
Not horns of a regular cattle, but of a Buffalo, which has never existed in the Korean territory at once; so they must be imported from countries far south. They were proper "strategic material" that the government tried its best to procure and secure. It just shows how seeious they were.
I don't know why this videos was recommended to me but I enjoyed it. RUclips magic I guess. The your bow and shooting got me interested but I stayed for the beautiful background. The ancient walls, green foliage, and colorful flowers. Where ever you are it's a beautiful place.

This just popped up on my youtube feed. I know nothing about archery...but this man seems like a master. His shooting seems so smooth, and with such ease.
Very beautiful bow and another top notch review. Thanks to Armin, I think I am going to have to build another bow rack because I've run out of room on the last one I built. My house is now practically an arsenal for a 13th century army.
2:18 translation : - A precious artifact which has the most perfect condition of Joseon Military Bow( Warbow) - It had arrived around 1910 to this museum, and surprisingly it had its bowstring on its place since then, and until now. - This artifact may let us know that the thing around the entire bow is the core(not sure about this since I’m not a bow expert), not the string. - Although the upper piece lost its strength so that the balance is leant to the lower piece, this shows us the representative character of our ancient military bow(Warbow) which is winding up the Hanji(one of the Korean traditional paper) around the middle of the bow handle, instead of just thickening it. By the way, there was a documentary in here about korean bows and they suggested about the Korean Horn Bow made with sculpted Water Buffalo Horn was the best. Ever heard of it or interested?
I think Lukasz Nawalny is the greatest bowyer today...I like the mongolian design more, but this korean bow design is 60/60, what a perfect bow👍 love your review Armin
Hi, I'm a Korean archer, it is good to see this kind of cross-cultural exchange among traditional archers. The thumb ring you are using (which is the 'female' type) should be used with your index fingers over your thumb, not with your index fingers over the protruding part of the ring. It should be used just as if you were pulling with your thumb, and the ring merely adds a bit of protective layer on your raw thumb skin. You would need to buy or make a 'male' type ring if you want to use the grip that you use in the video.
Just to add: the terms 'male' and 'female' rings have to do with the shape of the rings and nothing to do with the gender of the archer. The female type is widely used across many tribes in the Asian steppes who use the same type of horn bow. It is especially suitable for mounted archery. The male type is (as far as I know) unique to Korea and was used mainly among foot archers. They say it is better for pulling very heavy bows, but I personally find them uncomfortable. Beware, if you are not used to the 'male ' grip and keep pulling heavy bows you could end up with a (temporarily) blackened thumb.
Nice Video. To show my appreciation, I translated the Korean words in information paper at 2:18 . This is the valuable artifact the most preserved Bow of Joseon Military Forces. . It seems that the museum had obtained in 1910s, and surprisingly the string have been loaded until now since exibited. . By this heritage, what revealed is the stuff coiled whole bow body is not 'string' but 'Sim'. (Sim is the tendon of cow.) . The upper side arm of this bow is more curved than lower side arm but the handle is not thick and is wrapped in what is assumed to be HanJi. (HanJi is the Korean traditional paper.) These characteristics show this is the typical Korean Military Bow.
Awesome bow. Some people in the warbow community say the weight needs to be a certain amount like 100lbs but I disagree, it depends on the culture that used the bow for war. In this case the Koreans using 60lbs is historical accurate
So I can claim myself as a war bow shooter ? I use a Kaya Firefox 60@31 for pole archery . And I own a hawang ( I'm butchering the spelling ) That's the same . Lol I've got a buddy working his way to draw 110 pound Tiron He will think of shooting me if I tease him with that . Cheers
@@kmarchery the problem is the warbow word, its war + bow, which implies anything relevant with war. I think the words like heavy bow would be more appropriate
@@HistoricalWeapons War bow is a compromise from what I understand . An attempt to seperate English long bow which is more accurate to refer to the Regency era rebirth of archery in English society as a past time . Loades refered to horse bows used in warfare as being lower weights and for good reason . Try and draw 150 pounds from a horse . I tried to do a video with a barrel n a saddle . ( I don't have access to horse and a barrel removes a living breathing animal with a mind of its own ) To replicate his suggestion of shorter draw from horseback. Didn't get very good footage . I had two helpers and my lack of for thought n planning ment they just got in my way . That and pandemic lockdowns . disruption of this and other ideas .
@@HistoricalWeapons I also have a bar stool with a saddle . Pulled it out and did a short fool around video ,with a sarmat hankyu Yumi . It was short n silly . Tried a parthian shot . I couldn't really raise myself In saddle so it was less than graceful
@@HistoricalWeapons That's great ,good hopes for that . I am suspecting it will be a challenging adventure. Bow type depending I will predict 90 as a safe upper limit . Since an increased risk of shoulder injury since engaging the back may be more challenging on a moving animal. Saddle type would be and aid . Though I doubt any modern saddles give enough support??? I bet your suggestion in first comment of 50/60 pounds will be accurate . Especially if it requires a bit of speed at multiple targets . The other factor would be target distance. Don't need as high of a weight at shorter distances from horse back to be effective or potentially effective since I don't think I have seen any form of methodology of effectiveness presented by anyone . Horses complicate that especially staying safe . I look forward to seeing your videos on this subject .
I love how excited you are. I still get that excited when I pick up my mongolian mounted recurve bow. I'm going to try a Korean although it doesn't look like there's much difference between them but I'll give one a go
급작스럽게 유튜브가 날 여기로 인도했어요. 비슷하게 끌려온 한국인들 몇명이 보이네요 :) 이런 종류의 리뷰영상은 처음 보는데, 한번도 안멈추고 끝까지 봤네요. 재미있었고, 좋아요 누르기와 구독도 했습니다! (번역하기 쉬우라고 단어랑 구문을 정리하는게 이렇게 빡셀줄이야...ㅋ)
07:50, in Korea, there is a legend that like Excalibur it tells there was a bow no man could get the string on it but one day a man showed up and done it, later day he established a country named Goguryo
Every Korean city has ranges, mostly have more than two Have a visit there and try it all of club members and instructors are welcome you guys The place call 국궁장( bow shooting range)
What a beautifully shaped bow! It is well outside of my “justifiable” price range, but thanks for the great review, so that I can enjoy it vicariously through your excitement. Cheers
I even like all the Tatar”ish” aspects; the additional brace height, narrower arrow pass and longer extreme siyahs. If someone had to squeeze a complaint ( more of a preference), out of me…I would like it better with Korean tips. This is still a spectacular weapon.
Swietnie video! Cześć~ jestem koreanski. I used to do korean archery a while ago. It is quite astonishing a polish is reviewing a korean bow. You seemed quite experienced with various bows, some details were out of my expectation. I hereby write some additional information that might help. Hope it would be helpful somewhat with my lack of knowledge and veterancy. To begin with, you should know a major purpose of korean bows was horseback shooting. For that, they had to be short(easy to carry while horseride) and flexible(to gain more energy with that short body). This is the reason body is made of two different materials(normally wood and bull's horn) since inner and outer body parts take different pressures(easy to understand if you think of aircraft wings). As to shooting stance, you can't shoot an arrow stably with two-finger pulling on a horseback. That is why you pull sling with thumb in a fist. The wooden piece in a box you present early in this video is used for pulling thumb, and it is called 깍지(ggak-ji). There are two types of it, each called 숫-깍지/암-깍지(Sut/Am). Tho there is no official/formal format of stance(due to data loss and regional difference), most ranges and masters recommend you to pull the sling just before end of arrow head, which means you should bend the bow til it goes like ㄷ and arrow-tail must be placed over your chin unlike western stance(if you have choosen proper arrow with length and head weight for your bow). Unlike modern(western) archery stance in which your body toward 90' from target, your body core should head about 45' of the target. Ah and! Normal shooting distance for korean archery is 145m! Dzienki!
Korean styled bows seem to combine many of the desired qualities of 'traditional' bows (speed, light weight, draw length... etc) ... but at the cost of being more demanding of the archer to shoot.... I don't have a Korean Bow (yet)... but this is on my wish list.
Amazing Bow! Korea is also known as the Country of the Bow with regards to its military prowess and was famous for waging and winning wars against numerically superior enemies with its mastery of the bow and military technology. All the founders and famous military leaders of various Korean empires and dynasties were amazing marksmen. Jumong of Goguryeo or Holy King of the East Jumong was said to be a legendary marksman and had a bow that only he could use. Hyeokgeose of Silla, Taejo of Goryeo, Yi Seong-gye of Joseon, Emperor Gojong of the Empire of Korea, Admiral Yi Sun-shin, Kim Yu-shin, Yeon Gaesomun, Kwon Yul, and Eulji Mundeok are historically known as skilled archers.
Love the bow! Fine art and craftsmanship from Joseon era (조선시대) in Korea. It's no secret that Koreans are among the best archers in the world. As a Korean-American, very proud indeed. Thank you for sharing.
I noticed one thing after watching your video. The scenes in the movie when a flying arrow is hit with a sword are nonsense. I enjoyed the video. Forget the internet experts you see in the comments. Real experts don't talk like that.
이전에 국궁을 수련했던 기억이 나네요 ㅎㅎ 영상의 궁사님은 양궁식으로 활을 당기고 계시지만, 실제로 국궁을 당길 때에는 머리 위에서 활을 잡고 당기는 손을 거의 귀까지 당겨내리는 식으로 쏩니다. 곡사에 가까운 화살 이동때매 은근 과녁 맞추기가 어려운...조상님들이 정말 대단하다고 느꼈습니다 ㅋㅋ 우리 국궁 참 매력적이에요~
활을 머리 위로 들어올리는 동작... 이거는 족보에 있는 동작인지 심히 의심스러우며 저분은 깍지를 제대로 사용하고 있는만큼 동작에 흠잡을데가 없습니다. 귀 뒤까지 당기지 못하는건 활의 장력이 높아서이기 때문입니다. 더구나 오히려 145m 곡사에만 만족하는 국궁계에서 완전히 망각을 해버린 중요한 동작인 내려쏘기를 시도하는 등 활쏘기에 대한 이해도는 저분이 국궁 회원들보다 좋습니다.
두분모두 일리가 있는 말씀이군요. 다만. 활쏘기에 대한 이해도의 우열을 말씀 하신것은 오해의 소지가 있을듯합니다. 분야가 다르다고 할수 있겠지요. 세계 곳곳의 여러활을 접해본 다양하고 방대한 경험은 저분이 탁월하겠지만. 우리나라 국궁인들도 나름 깊이있게 활을 이해하고 있는 것이겠습니다. 부언하자면... 각궁을 가지고 수련하는 명궁님들은 활을 제작할수 있을 정도로 각궁에 대한 깊은 이해도가 있으니까요. 게다가 휘어지고 굽어진 물소뿔을 켜고 펴서 제작하는 것이기에 모양이 틀어지거나 뿔이 갈라지거나 심이 끊어지는 등의 문제에 대처하고 다루는 이해도를 저분이 어떻게 넘볼수 있겠습니까? 서로 다른분야를 비교 평가할수는 없는 문제이지요. 저 활은 폴랜드에서 조선의 군사용 활을 재현한 것이라는 댓글이 보이는군요. 메이드인 코리아가 아니라는거죠. 줌통의 배가 부르지 않고 아래가 굵은 모양은 옛 활이 아랫장 탄력을 강하게 하여 원거리를 쏠때 유용하도록 한것인데 영상의 습사모습은 주로 윗장의 탄력을 쓰는 것으로 보여집니다. 수렵이든 전쟁이든 원거리 사법이 주로 많이 쓰였겠지요. 단 기마궁술의 경우는 근거리 사법이 유용했을 것이고요. 현재 궁궁활터 쏨세들을 볼때면... 중원의 사법이나 일본 규도의 영향을 받은것 같이 여겨지는 궁체들도 많습니다. 거궁시에 머리위로 높이드는 모습은 일본 규도에서 보여지는 것이고요. 만작시에 윗동이 돌아가 흡사 양궁자세와 같이 왼어깨가 펴지는 모습은 중원의 사법 영향이 아닐까 합니다. 현재 국궁 활터에서의 궁체는 크게 두가지 성향으로 구분지어 볼수 있는데 앞으로 미는 궁체와 옆으로 미는 궁체죠. 줌통의 배가 홀쭉하지 않고 통통하고 밋밋한 모양은 하삼지로 흘려잡기를 구사 하였을때 요즘의 활이 옛것보다 위 아랫장 탄력차를 적게주어 그런거죠. 발시할때 국궁의 활시위는 원호를 그리게 되므로 줌팔이나 왼가슴을 스치지 않는것이니 비틀어 쏘는것이라. 소위 쪼와서쏜다. 또는 짜서쏜다. 하는 말이지요. 반면에 양궁의 경우는 활시위가 직진 하기에 줌팔이나 왼가슴에 보호대를 필요로 하는 것입니다. 영상의 시연자는 줌통을 흘려잡지도 반바닥으로 비틀어 쪼아 밀지도 않았으니 국궁 사법과는 거리가 있어 보이는거죠. 따라서 활의 윗장 탄력 위주의 사법이고요. 국궁은 아랫장 탄력을 중시하기에 원거리 사법에 맞는것이고 우리활을 저렇게 쏘면 자연히 화살에 힘이 실리지 않지요. 태권도의 정권지르기가 참고될겁니다. 비틀어 끊는 동작이지요. 주먹이 회전하고 끊어치는 순간에 힘이 배가되는 것이지요. 양궁처럼 윗동이 회전하여 옆으로 미는 동작은 복싱의 스트레이트가 참고될 것입니다. 주먹이 회전하지를 않지요. 활시위도 마찬가지.... 시위 소리부터가 달라집니다. 국궁활을 회전없이 쏘게되면 철퍽거리거나 턱턱하는 소리가 나며 왼팔에 충격이 전해져 엘보가 오기도 하고 맹렬하게 진동하는 화살대가 중통을 쳐서 작게는 찍찍 소리가 섞여들리고 크게는 장작패는 소리가 나게되죠. 출전피도 마모가 심해지고 화살대도 상하며 줌팔도 무사하지 못합니다. 노련한 궁사의 시윗소리는 쓕쓕! 병마개 따는소리 비슷하게 들리죠. 시윗소리가 맑고 경쾌할수록 모든 에너지가 화살에 온전히 실리는 것입니다. 그럴때 쏘아진 화살도 마치 로케트처럼 요동없이 아름다운 궤적을 그리게 되지요. 좌우로 꼬리질을 하거나 위아래로 꺼떡이거나 비스듬히 날아가는 화살은 부끄럽게 여기는 것입니다.
Certain bows 🏹 are just a magical experience like that. It's like it's a creation made exactly for you to complement you in every way. It targets in so naturally, and the only thing that restricts you is your own skills and time with the bow 🏹 And proper arrows to match

The thumbring looks beautiful as well! The box for the ring is showing how much passion Lukasz brings into his masterpieces! Thank you so much for the review, Armin! Enjoy! 🏹🔆
The bow is not originally a direct-fire weapon. It is a howitzer weapon. The distance from the target is 145 meters. There is also a way to shoot arrows called pyeon-jeon, which was introduced in the movie "War of the Arrows(2011)".
What about the Manchu archers and the english bowmen who more or less used direct fire as the main way of shooting. I mean you can harass enemies from afar but the real damage is in the 30 - 40 meters range.
Hi! RUclips algorithm brought me here! Thank you for reviewing great bow! And your review and skill are great too! I'm really appreciated by your knowledge of bows. And I felt like I learned about bow by James bond's villain hahaha Awesome! ^^b
Thankyou for introduceing this bow I always understood the Korean Bows were laminated with wooden elements but the Horn Bows being more for cerymonies/cerimonial roles?The price is not dramatic but can be afforded for the quality you get.Well Done Sir,Be Blessed.
Korean traditional horn bow is made with oak, bamboo, mulberry trees and attached tendon outside and horn of water buffalo inside of the bow. The bow is attached with fish glue. To protect from moisture, the bow is covered with the bark of birth tree or peach tree. Of course, you can see Go-Ja(고자), which is a kind of shock absorber.
60정도면 현재에선 강궁에 속합니다. 보통 활좀 쏜다는분들이 50파운드 중반대입니다. 옛날엔 국가의 존망이 걸려있으니 사생결단으로 쏘느라 90파운드니 120파운드니 쏜거지 60파운드만 되도 타고난 근력이 없으면 보통사람들은 절반도 못당깁니다. 실제로 현재의 개량국궁도 70파운드 이상은 특별히 따로 주문하지 않는 이상 만들지 않습니다.
The bows I saw in Korean TV dramas and movies didn't seem that powerful. I didn't think it would kill someone. But after watching this video, one arrow is enough to go to the next world.
What a beautiful n great performance bow. Hi Armin, I'm still confuse whether this term 'monolith' is categorized as a laminated bow or a mono material one like EFG or PFG bow, since there is no wood material in the core if im not mistaken.
It is a beautiful bow. Will you be doing ang reviews on their other bows? Their other bows look just as beautiful. Maybe with a beginner/entry acceptable model?
The shooting sound is very light and good. I can feel the taut string. If you like to know more Korean warbow and arrow, I recommend to searching for "애깃살" . I don't know it's English name. but It's a secret ultimate arrow. I think you like it.
Just a review vid though, it gives me a satisfying feeling. I don't know if it is his voice or the rustling unwrapping sound, but It is pretty much like an ASMR video to me.
1. The bow filmed is a modernized version with modern composite. In the old days there was no such material. They used multi layers. Then the bond matters. Adhesives do not work since there is difference of length between layers. Koreans found that a material made from croaker air bladder works like adhesive but still support the multi layer by letting the layers slide. Actually it is not adhesive. It forms numerous mini teeth on the surface. When you pull the teeth slide and fit into neiboring slots. This can be observed only my microscope. So either the ancient Koreans have impossible eyesight or were perseverant and lucky enough to hit upon the right material. 2. The shoulder draw is about 20 cm longer than the Western lip draw. So it needs less muscle. The release force acts longer and the acceleration stronger . The longer draw is not good for quick shooting. Still does not matter since Koreans used it from long distance. They practice with targets 145 meter far. With tubes shooting shorter and heavier arrows your target can be put a couple of hundreds of meters. I guess they used this weapon as snipers. In Korea a lot of mountains valleys creeks. 70% of the land. This is a terrain for snipers and hunters. For Chinese hard to conquer and little to exploit. For mounted nomadic army not much to feed their horses and cattles. Only people who has the full set of knowhow for making food out of littoral sea, river, field, mountain could help starving. This is the secret how this ancient people could maintain their identity neiboring the formidable Chinese and nomads. For example they fought more than 30 years against Mongols. It took only two weeks for Mongols to conquer Samarkand.
This look amazing. And you have to admire the original one when you see the limb doing almost a full circle at rest, this is to show how far the craftsmanship went back in the days.
When I was in elementary school, I went on a field trip at school, and I definitely remember having fun with the Korean bow. Thank you for the good review. Have a nice day. (use of a translator) 옛날에 학교에서 견학 가서 활 쏴 봤는데 ㄹㅇ 활이 휘면서 화살 개빨리 날아가던거 생각나네요
중학교때 학교에서 집으로 오는길에 국궁장이 있었습니다...나이드신 어르신들이 활을 쏘는 걸 봤었는데 놀랬던 기억이 있네요...영화에서 볼때는 저런 화살 맞고 왜 죽나 싶었는데~~~막상 눈앞에서 보니 200m도 넘는 거리를 슁~~~하고 날라가더군요..진짜 위력에 놀랬던 기억이 있습니다...저거 맞으면 죽겠구나 싶었죠 ㅎㅎㅎ

Very beautiful bow and another top notch review. Thanks to Armin, I think I am going to have to build another bow rack because I've run out of room on the last one I built. My house is now practically an arsenal for a 13th century army.

- It had arrived around 1910 to this museum, and surprisingly it had its bowstring on its place since then, and until now.
- This artifact may let us know that the thing around the entire bow is the core(not sure about this since I’m not a bow expert), not the string.

Hi, I'm a Korean archer, it is good to see this kind of cross-cultural exchange among traditional archers. The thumb ring you are using (which is the 'female' type) should be used with your index fingers over your thumb, not with your index fingers over the protruding part of the ring. It should be used just as if you were pulling with your thumb, and the ring merely adds a bit of protective layer on your raw thumb skin. You would need to buy or make a 'male' type ring if you want to use the grip that you use in the video.
Just to add: the terms 'male' and 'female' rings have to do with the shape of the rings and nothing to do with the gender of the archer. The female type is widely used across many tribes in the Asian steppes who use the same type of horn bow. It is especially suitable for mounted archery. The male type is (as far as I know) unique to Korea and was used mainly among foot archers. They say it is better for pulling very heavy bows, but I personally find them uncomfortable. Beware, if you are not used to the 'male ' grip and keep pulling heavy bows you could end up with a (temporarily) blackened thumb.

Nice Video. To show my appreciation, I translated the Korean words in information paper at 2:18
. This is the valuable artifact the most preserved Bow of Joseon Military Forces.
. It seems that the museum had obtained in 1910s, and surprisingly the string have been loaded until now since exibited.
. By this heritage, what revealed is the stuff coiled whole bow body is not 'string' but 'Sim'. (Sim is the tendon of cow.)
. The upper side arm of this bow is more curved than lower side arm but the handle is not thick and is wrapped in what is assumed to be HanJi. (HanJi is the Korean traditional paper.) These characteristics show this is the typical Korean Military Bow.
Awesome bow. Some people in the warbow community say the weight needs to be a certain amount like 100lbs but I disagree, it depends on the culture that used the bow for war. In this case the Koreans using 60lbs is historical accurate
So I can claim myself as a war bow shooter ?

And I own a hawang ( I'm butchering the spelling )

War bow is a compromise from what I understand .
An attempt to seperate English long bow which is more accurate to refer to the Regency era rebirth of archery in English society as a past time .
Loades refered to horse bows used in warfare as being lower weights and for good reason .
Try and draw 150 pounds from a horse . I tried to do a video with a barrel n a saddle .
( I don't have access to horse and a barrel removes a living breathing animal with a mind of its own )
To replicate his suggestion of shorter draw from horseback.
Didn't get very good footage .

Pulled it out and did a short fool around video ,with a sarmat hankyu Yumi .
It was short n silly .
Tried a parthian shot .
I couldn't really raise myself
In saddle so it was less than graceful
@@HistoricalWeapons
That's great ,good hopes for that .
I am suspecting it will be a challenging adventure.
Bow type depending I will predict 90 as a safe upper limit .
Since an increased risk of shoulder injury since engaging the back may be more challenging on a moving animal.
Saddle type would be and aid .
Though I doubt any modern saddles give enough support???
I bet your suggestion in first comment of 50/60 pounds will be accurate . Especially if it requires a bit of speed at multiple targets .
The other factor would be target distance. Don't need as high of a weight at shorter distances from horse back to be effective or potentially effective since I don't think I have seen any form of methodology of effectiveness presented by anyone .
Horses complicate that especially staying safe .
I look forward to seeing your videos on this subject .

Swietnie video! Cześć~ jestem koreanski. I used to do korean archery a while ago. It is quite astonishing a polish is reviewing a korean bow. You seemed quite experienced with various bows, some details were out of my expectation. I hereby write some additional information that might help. Hope it would be helpful somewhat with my lack of knowledge and veterancy.
To begin with, you should know a major purpose of korean bows was horseback shooting. For that, they had to be short(easy to carry while horseride) and flexible(to gain more energy with that short body). This is the reason body is made of two different materials(normally wood and bull's horn) since inner and outer body parts take different pressures(easy to understand if you think of aircraft wings). As to shooting stance, you can't shoot an arrow stably with two-finger pulling on a horseback. That is why you pull sling with thumb in a fist. The wooden piece in a box you present early in this video is used for pulling thumb, and it is called 깍지(ggak-ji). There are two types of it, each called 숫-깍지/암-깍지(Sut/Am). Tho there is no official/formal format of stance(due to data loss and regional difference), most ranges and masters recommend you to pull the sling just before end of arrow head, which means you should bend the bow til it goes like ㄷ and arrow-tail must be placed over your chin unlike western stance(if you have choosen proper arrow with length and head weight for your bow). Unlike modern(western) archery stance in which your body toward 90' from target, your body core should head about 45' of the target. Ah and! Normal shooting distance for korean archery is 145m! Dzienki!
I’m here after Korean won the 🥇
Lol when DON'T Koreans win the gold!?
Koreans absolutely dominated 🥇 🥇
Koreans always dominate 😂
It can be rude to other foreign players but our players always say that becoming national player is harder than the gold medal in olympics😅
I have great respect for the korean shooting tradition and absolutely love the korean bows.
Korean styled bows seem to combine many of the desired qualities of 'traditional' bows (speed, light weight, draw length... etc) ... but at the cost of being more demanding of the archer to shoot.... I don't have a Korean Bow (yet)... but this is on my wish list.
HIgher performance does seem to require higher skill when there's nothing between the user and the equipment, like an F1 race car, etc.
Amazing Bow! Korea is also known as the Country of the Bow with regards to its military prowess and was famous for waging and winning wars against numerically superior enemies with its mastery of the bow and military technology. All the founders and famous military leaders of various Korean empires and dynasties were amazing marksmen. Jumong of Goguryeo or Holy King of the East Jumong was said to be a legendary marksman and had a bow that only he could use. Hyeokgeose of Silla, Taejo of Goryeo, Yi Seong-gye of Joseon, Emperor Gojong of the Empire of Korea, Admiral Yi Sun-shin, Kim Yu-shin, Yeon Gaesomun, Kwon Yul, and Eulji Mundeok are historically known as skilled archers.

이분 영상들 많이 봤는데 우리나라 활을 상당히 좋아하는것 같네요
각궁 은 테스트 해보셨는지 궁 금 하네요ᆢ더해서 편전 까지ᆢ
서양인의 시각 이 궁금 하네요
이전에 국궁을 수련했던 기억이 나네요 ㅎㅎ 영상의 궁사님은 양궁식으로 활을 당기고 계시지만, 실제로 국궁을 당길 때에는 머리 위에서 활을 잡고 당기는 손을 거의 귀까지 당겨내리는 식으로 쏩니다. 곡사에 가까운 화살 이동때매 은근 과녁 맞추기가 어려운...조상님들이 정말 대단하다고 느꼈습니다 ㅋㅋ 우리 국궁 참 매력적이에요~
활을 머리 위로 들어올리는 동작... 이거는 족보에 있는 동작인지 심히 의심스러우며 저분은 깍지를 제대로 사용하고 있는만큼 동작에 흠잡을데가 없습니다. 귀 뒤까지 당기지 못하는건 활의 장력이 높아서이기 때문입니다. 더구나 오히려 145m 곡사에만 만족하는 국궁계에서 완전히 망각을 해버린 중요한 동작인 내려쏘기를 시도하는 등 활쏘기에 대한 이해도는 저분이 국궁 회원들보다 좋습니다.
두분모두 일리가 있는 말씀이군요.
다만. 활쏘기에 대한 이해도의 우열을
말씀 하신것은 오해의 소지가 있을듯합니다.
분야가 다르다고 할수 있겠지요.
세계 곳곳의 여러활을 접해본 다양하고
방대한 경험은 저분이 탁월하겠지만.
우리나라 국궁인들도 나름 깊이있게
활을 이해하고 있는 것이겠습니다.
부언하자면...
각궁을 가지고 수련하는 명궁님들은
활을 제작할수 있을 정도로 각궁에 대한
깊은 이해도가 있으니까요.
게다가 휘어지고 굽어진 물소뿔을 켜고
펴서 제작하는 것이기에 모양이 틀어지거나
뿔이 갈라지거나 심이 끊어지는 등의 문제에
대처하고 다루는 이해도를 저분이 어떻게
넘볼수 있겠습니까?
서로 다른분야를 비교 평가할수는
없는 문제이지요.

줌통의 배가 부르지 않고 아래가 굵은
모양은 옛 활이 아랫장 탄력을 강하게
하여 원거리를 쏠때 유용하도록 한것인데
영상의 습사모습은 주로 윗장의 탄력을
쓰는 것으로 보여집니다.
수렵이든 전쟁이든 원거리 사법이 주로
많이 쓰였겠지요. 단 기마궁술의 경우는
근거리 사법이 유용했을 것이고요.

만작시에 윗동이 돌아가 흡사 양궁자세와

현재 국궁 활터에서의 궁체는 크게
두가지 성향으로 구분지어 볼수 있는데
앞으로 미는 궁체와 옆으로 미는 궁체죠.
줌통의 배가 홀쭉하지 않고 통통하고
밋밋한 모양은 하삼지로 흘려잡기를
구사 하였을때 요즘의 활이 옛것보다
위 아랫장 탄력차를 적게주어 그런거죠.
발시할때 국궁의 활시위는 원호를
그리게 되므로 줌팔이나 왼가슴을
스치지 않는것이니 비틀어 쏘는것이라.
소위 쪼와서쏜다. 또는 짜서쏜다.
하는 말이지요.
반면에 양궁의 경우는 활시위가 직진
하기에 줌팔이나 왼가슴에 보호대를
필요로 하는 것입니다.
영상의 시연자는 줌통을 흘려잡지도
반바닥으로 비틀어 쪼아 밀지도 않았으니
국궁 사법과는 거리가 있어 보이는거죠.
따라서 활의 윗장 탄력 위주의 사법이고요.
국궁은 아랫장 탄력을 중시하기에 원거리
사법에 맞는것이고 우리활을 저렇게 쏘면
자연히 화살에 힘이 실리지 않지요.
태권도의 정권지르기가 참고될겁니다.
비틀어 끊는 동작이지요.
주먹이 회전하고 끊어치는 순간에 힘이
배가되는 것이지요.
양궁처럼 윗동이 회전하여 옆으로 미는
동작은 복싱의 스트레이트가 참고될
것입니다. 주먹이 회전하지를 않지요.
활시위도 마찬가지....
시위 소리부터가 달라집니다.
국궁활을 회전없이 쏘게되면
철퍽거리거나 턱턱하는 소리가 나며
왼팔에 충격이 전해져 엘보가 오기도 하고
맹렬하게 진동하는 화살대가 중통을 쳐서
작게는 찍찍 소리가 섞여들리고 크게는
장작패는 소리가 나게되죠.
출전피도 마모가 심해지고 화살대도 상하며
줌팔도 무사하지 못합니다.
노련한 궁사의 시윗소리는 쓕쓕!
병마개 따는소리 비슷하게 들리죠.
시윗소리가 맑고 경쾌할수록 모든
에너지가 화살에 온전히 실리는 것입니다.
그럴때 쏘아진 화살도 마치 로케트처럼
요동없이 아름다운 궤적을 그리게 되지요.
좌우로 꼬리질을 하거나 위아래로 꺼떡이거나
비스듬히 날아가는 화살은 부끄럽게 여기는
것입니다.

The bow is not originally a direct-fire weapon. It is a howitzer weapon. The distance from the target is 145 meters. There is also a way to shoot arrows called pyeon-jeon, which was introduced in the movie "War of the Arrows(2011)".
of course, my archery is just not long enough :)

Korean traditional horn bow is made with oak, bamboo, mulberry trees and attached tendon outside and horn of water buffalo inside of the bow. The bow is attached with fish glue. To protect from moisture, the bow is covered with the bark of birth tree or peach tree. Of course, you can see Go-Ja(고자), which is a kind of shock absorber.

보통 활좀 쏜다는분들이 50파운드 중반대입니다.

60파운드만 되도 타고난 근력이 없으면 보통사람들은 절반도 못당깁니다.

Dear Armin H. --- I recommend you to Try "Pyon-jeon" < 편전/ 片箭 / Shorty Arrow/Half Arrow > - The best Korean Arrow- lethal weapon.
The bows I saw in Korean TV dramas and movies didn't seem that powerful.
I didn't think it would kill someone.
But after watching this video, one arrow is enough to go to the next world.

that's kind of sugar bottle in the movie.
actually, the real composite bows back in the 14, 15th century is muc stronger than this one.

And most korean bows used in war were twice as powerful as this one is! this one is only 55#, they used to be made 80-140# in draw weight!
That is an awesome powerful bow

Gorgeous bow
One of the best bows in the world. Thanks for the nice review.
I am Korean. You've reviewed the Korean traditional bow, thank you very much
thx for the nice and professional review!
That bow looks like a masterpiece :)
1. The bow filmed is a modernized version with modern composite. In the old days there was no such material. They used multi layers. Then the bond matters. Adhesives do not work since there is difference of length between layers. Koreans found that a material made from croaker air bladder works like adhesive but still support the multi layer by letting the layers slide. Actually it is not adhesive. It forms numerous mini teeth on the surface. When you pull the teeth slide and fit into neiboring slots. This can be observed only my microscope. So either the ancient Koreans have impossible eyesight or were perseverant and lucky enough to hit upon the right material.
2. The shoulder draw is about 20 cm longer than the Western lip draw. So it needs less muscle. The release force acts longer and the acceleration stronger .
The longer draw is not good for quick shooting. Still does not matter since Koreans used it from long distance. They practice with targets 145 meter far. With tubes shooting shorter and heavier arrows your target can be put a couple of hundreds of meters.
I guess they used this weapon as snipers.
In Korea a lot of mountains valleys creeks. 70% of the land. This is a terrain for snipers and hunters.
For Chinese hard to conquer and little to exploit.
For mounted nomadic army not much to feed their horses and cattles.
Only people who has the full set of knowhow for making food out of littoral sea, river, field, mountain could help starving.
This is the secret how this ancient people could maintain their identity neiboring the formidable Chinese and nomads. For example they fought more than 30 years against Mongols. It took only two weeks for Mongols to conquer Samarkand.
nice bs
The bow is amazing I just wish it had that short korean brace height.

옛날에 우리 활의 사거리가 엄청나서 적국이 함부로 처들어오기 힘들었다고 합니다. 제조법 또한 비밀이었고 지금은 다큐로도 많이 나와서 일반인들도 아시는분이 많더라구요. 생각해보면 저런 성능좋은 활이 그 당시는 군사력입니다.
적국이 존나 자주 빈번하게 그저 산보하듯이 처들어 왔었는데요?

This look amazing.
And you have to admire the original one when you see the limb doing almost a full circle at rest, this is to show how far the craftsmanship went back in the days.
When I was in elementary school, I went on a field trip at school, and I definitely remember having fun with the Korean bow. Thank you for the good review. Have a nice day. (use of a translator)
옛날에 학교에서 견학 가서 활 쏴 봤는데 ㄹㅇ 활이 휘면서 화살 개빨리 날아가던거 생각나네요
Korean War bow is one of the best war bow in the world

I am in love, just a beautiful bow now I need this in my collection. Keep up the good work my friend
Thank you
한국인이 다루지 않던 활의 여러가지 성능이나 가격에 대한 설명에 감사합니다.
Korean archery is beautiful indeed

Carbon Bow : Yes master! I'm ready to break your left elbow!
Simply superb review Armin, I am undoubtedly persuaded...
중학교때 학교에서 집으로 오는길에 국궁장이 있었습니다...나이드신 어르신들이 활을 쏘는 걸 봤었는데 놀랬던 기억이 있네요...영화에서 볼때는 저런 화살 맞고 왜 죽나 싶었는데~~~막상 눈앞에서 보니 200m도 넘는 거리를 슁~~~하고 날라가더군요..진짜 위력에 놀랬던 기억이 있습니다...저거 맞으면 죽겠구나 싶었죠 ㅎㅎㅎ
저랑 같네요 국궁장에서 활 날라가는거 보고 저거 맞으면 그자리에서 죽겠구나 생각했었어요.날라가는 화살을 보니까 저도 나이먹고 할배되면 국궁장 가입하려고요.
옆에서 보는 것도 멋진데 직접쏘면 얼마나 멋질까 생각했네요
ive only seen very few of his videos and i can tell he loves this bow
When you're actually a Korean and there is Armin Hirmer being more Korean than you are.
I will have to say that's the prettiest Korean bow you've ever reviewed! Wow!!!! Nalwany bows are works of art! Armin you one lucky bastard! Thank you so much for the excellent reviews!!!
Oh yessssss
