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?

Nice looking bow Rob! :bigsmyl:
Jerry
Very nice!!
Always wanted to try a horse bow
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:
very nice :0)
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.....?
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.

yeah they are cool bows i love em good for hunting to. :thumbsup: nice one rob what poundage is it and what draw length.
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.
-Rob
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!
go for it, Bernie...but you should wait till I look like I know what I am doing...LOL
thp, I'm already gettin the "shave that...it makes you look mean" from the gf....I don't think longer is in my future.
-Rob
Nice bow. Do they have a website? What poundage is yours Rob?
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.
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).
-Rob
Is there a rule against just saying where you bought something? :confused:
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.
-Rob
Rob : Could I get the info on them as well? Thanks Drew

Interesting, good looking bow.
Here you can see the bow in action at a 3D-shoot:

I won the horsebow class with it,even I didn`t have matching arrows back then. After experiencing that my woodies were too stiff, I took one cabon arrow I had and used it for the rest of the shoot. I only needed 2 follow up shots for the rest:-)) Especially for shorter people, this bows performs!! My Dad liked it as well and ordered one two weeks after I got mine. Go figure..
