So I received a beautiful Korean bow, bamboo Songmugung. It's 40lbs, and perfect for me right now. I decided to practice my form more so I got this 40lbs bow to do so.
This bow is absolutely beautiful, and the fit and finish is much better than my 30lbs Kaya KTB.
I ordered it to wrap with natural birch bark sheet. Although it will crack easily on modern laminated material, I just love the natural staff on my bow.
I love this bow.
I have been always a fan of bows and arrows. When I play games, my weapon of choices is a bow. My favorite character of Lord of the Ring is Legolas. This is records of my journey to Asian archery. I hope my blog can help people like me who are new to Asian archery, and help them to get good information from it.

Yuan dynasty, Mongolian bow
So I got this bow from Justin Ma, who is an owner of online site, www.cinnarbarbow.com. I wanted to try something else then Korean bows so I chose this bow. This is non contact siyah bow, which is opposite of Korean bows(contacted siyah bows).
It's about 64# at 32" draw, and my draw is about 30.5", so it's about 50# at my draw length.
It draws very smooth, it shoots very nice. I really like this bow.
However, due to lack of practicing time, and busy with my life, I decided to sell this bow to someone who can enjoy shooting it. Simply the bow is too heavy for me.
I figured that with current practicing time, which is about 1 hour every 3 month....I did not see myself shooting this bow soon.
