Posted this on a couple other sites...thought I'd share it with the Gang as well. New Korean Hwarang "horsebow"...awesome little unit so far. Looking forward to working with the ring...as you can see I have also been shooting it two under. Makes a great diversion from more "standard" bows. Whadya ya'll think?

That's a cool bow! I like the looks of those horse bows and plan to have one someday.

Very cool. They siyhas (sp?) are a lot different on that one than the other horse bows I've seen.

I got to play with one at the archery shop a couple months ago. They are definitely fun bows! I couldn't manage to shoot it worth a dang with my thumb, though. I'm sure it is a matter of getting used to a whole new type of shooting. I was starting to get the hang of it shooting with fingers though. I'd love to do a 3D shoot with one sometime.

I like how these bows are decorated also. It really gives the bow a different "feel"... shooting something meant for war, rather than hunting. Not your quiet stalking through the forest sort of bow... yelling, screaming, galloping breakneck speed by people trying to kill you sort of bow. :eek:

Rob....
Nice bow....
I two would like one somweday....
How do you like the thumbring and shooting off the right side of the bow....
Where did you get yours from.....?

ROB TAYLOR · « **Reply #7 on:** June 10, 2007, 12:52:00 PM »

Jerry,
That'd be some picture...I can barely sit on a statue of a horse without falling off.

tamure,
You're right, the siyahs are pretty minimalistic compared to lots of other horsebows, but these are definitely static and stout.

mikeG,
So far the thumbring shooting is going OK...there is certainly a learning curve, but I think most of us can do it with a bit of practice. I'll PM you the purchase information as I am not sure the admin would allow it.

ROB TAYLOR · « **Reply #9 on:** June 10, 2007, 03:15:00 PM »

This one is 52#@30"....that's measured as a "true draw" BTW...from center of limb at arrow pass to end of nock, that is.

Neat, Rob. I'm gonna put those two examples of Full Draw of the horsebow on my TBD pages (Page13). What's a brother for?

looks like it would be great in tight spots, tree stands, blinds, etc. very cool. just let your mustache get a little longer and get pointy fur hat and man you will look like the real deal!

ROB TAYLOR · « **Reply #12 on:** June 11, 2007, 01:29:00 AM »

Nice bow. Do they have a website? What poundage is yours Rob?

Steelhead · « **Reply #14 on:** June 11, 2007, 01:56:00 AM »

Cool little bow.my brother had 1 and liked it.That thing weighs about as much as a feather.One of the lightest bows in the hand ever.

ROB TAYLOR · « **Reply #15 on:** June 11, 2007, 11:05:00 AM »

Yeah, mine is 11 oz....there is a website cahaba, I'll PM it to you. Mine is 52#@30" "true draw" (from center of limb at arrow pass to string in nock groove).

Is there a rule against just saying where you bought something? :confused:

ROB TAYLOR · « **Reply #17 on:** June 11, 2007, 01:41:00 PM »

Ummm, yeah..I think there might be here at the gang....I think they need to be a sponsor in order to mention them without having your thread nuked....I could be wrong (hope so

)...can a mod clear that up? Thanks.
