What is this bow???

[Stephen Selby]

I've had two of the Samick bows. Quicks sell them as 'traditional hunter bows'. I didn't particularly like them. Surprisingly, although the limbs are broad and flat, they easily take a twist causing them to unstring sometimes.

The narrow grip is supposed to be thickened with a standard Korean grip build-out, bound with the tape you put on tennis-raquet handles. That makes them comfortable to hold and reduces the hand-shock.

IMHO, the Hwarang bows that you can get from Tom (among others) are much better in every way.
