I know of a few examples of failure with Samik Korean Bows, all of them were breakages. I do not trust the modern recurve style string nocking points and the same applies to the Scythian bow that Grozer makes. I can well imagine the string pulling off the limb with a long draw.

a chinese study horseback archery form Kassai' school and buy more than 10 bows of kassai bow, but has no member interested it , also many member ask grozer's bow , more expensive than skb,the skb has a canada maple core but other bows has no this, also some member has use grozer'bows, the siyahs' weight not balance so the bow will shake more , also the skb has more shake cause long lamb and handle not so long and thin thickness,

but , there are some result the skb can use many years and keep it performance,if we are modern archer use modern bows , the trouble of select a bow will be reduce more.

I shoot Grozers scythian bow, and I can safely say that the string would only slip off the nock if you twisted the limbs during the draw. If you wanted to pull the string off by pulling the bow normally, you would first have to draw over the max draw length (32").
This goes for any bow buying though, if you wish to buy an expensive one, I'd go test it before you hand over your cash.

Did any give a good reason why they were not interested in Kassai bows? Or is it simply that they include modern materials? I tried my friend's 50# SKB, it seemed OK but I definitely would not swap the accuracy and stability of my Kassai Hun. Modern technologies provide a cheaper alternative for many who simply cannot afford the prices of true composite builds and if it encourages more archers I certainly do not dismiss it.

while triditional korean bow siyah looks like this

but I guess I can not ask for too much on a 153$ bow

Yeahsoo,

The siyah you showed is NOT from a usual Korean traditional bow, but one of only a couple in the world Korean bamboo horsebow reproductions. One of them is in the UK and I have the other. Here is a picture of Korean trad bow siyahs; the one on the left is of a laminated style and the one on the right is a true horn bow.
