The first looks like a Korean bow with natural birch bark as well.

I cant post the rest of the picks,Mark informed me that the 2011 modle of the Kaya korean will be covered in birch bark to give it a more traditional look. and the biocomposite will be in the 300-400 range.

What good news! I'm loving my Kaya KTB so far; would be very interesting to see how their new bows compare with the more traditional constructs from Grozer, Kassai, Saluki, Spitfire, & the Hwarangs from Korea.

Thank you PjSingh for informing us. This is very good news!

Would you know the maximum draw length of the biocomposite horn bow? The one Ginni had delaminated at 34" draw.

The biocomposite technology (bows) was introduced roughly one and a half year ago by Csaba Grozer the Hungarian bowyer.

Example Turkish biocomposite: http://www.grozerarchery.com/htm/torok/bio/j/6.htm
http://www.grozerarchery.com/htm/torok/bio/j/7.htm

These bows consist of the following materials: the middle layers are wood, the inner layer is pressed horn, while the outer layer is pressed sinew plate. These layers are glued to the wooden plate by modern glue and the glued layer gets a fiber strengthening.

Is this newly coming bows are made similarly or do they have another construction?

I look forward to! The traditional Korean bow but no arrow to be cut. It's weird.

Look closely, the bow with the arrow pass is a different bow.

Looks like now its time for natural and modern material mixtures...

New bows present Korean bowmaster Do -Min Park (Hwarang bow producer ). Biocomposites hornbows , mongolian and China stile.

I wonder if Mr. Park had the Manchu bow mixed up with the Mongolian variant. Shouldn't the Manchu bow have much longer ears than the Mongolian one?

wow, I wants me one of those! Where can I get them? if they are made by the bowyers who make Hwarang, does that mean Thomas D will be handling them?

Boghadair,

Thomas is in touch with the company that makes these bows. I asked him about them a week ago, so he should have news at any moment. I wonder if these bows are already available.

Jose,
thanks! I guess we'll all see..
