Manchu bow
I tried to meet with Justin when he comes to Redwood bowmen club. I learn a lot from him, and he is such a nice guy who help out fellows like me, a newbie.
This time he brought a Manchu bow.
You can get good info about Manchu bow from here
The bow Justin brought is made by Jia Zhi Wei. His web site is http://www.manchubows.com/
The bow is very big, yet it draws very smooth. I tried a #55 bow, and it was so smooth! The maximum draw length of the bow is 36".

Custom ordered Korean quiver
I found a great artist, Yeochan Yun, who lives in Korea. The official website is http://www.archers.co.kr
His work is excellent. I ordered a specific design, and he did great job.
The bow is SongMuGung from Korea. It's about 50# 31" It's little heavy for me right now, but I will keep practice with it. It's a very fast bow. I highly recommend this bow to anyone who is interested in fast Asian traditional bows.

Modding my sugakkji
After I shot many arrows, I noticed my ring got very dirty due to the light color. So I decided to use a Japanese technique called "shosugiban", which is burning wood technique. It turned out pretty good.
