you cannot use a Korean bow
Thanks, I was not planning the mimic of using one there, even though theirs is without doubt one of the very best horn bows ever and I understand the Korean intent on keeping their traditions as intact as possible.

What I am looking for is the e-mail and site for the next WTAF, the 5th I think?

I must be a very bad ?googler? as I only found references to past events......

I am not going this year. Whatever arrows you find appropriate will do; target arrows. You need to maintain 5 working arrows throughout the contest. Maybe an extra or two would be a good idea.

Blunts work best at the Mongolian contest. Smooth, heavy ones work well. Some bring drilled out wooden balls, wine corks and such to put over their target points. Mongolian shaped points work best, though.

Take pictures to show us later. Be patient when there. Have fun!
