Hwarang feedback, please...

For those of you who haven't heard it, the way to check the correct fit of the arrow nock to the string is to hang the arrow by the nock downward from the nocking point.

If it falls off when you waggle the bow gently, it's too loose.

A firm tap (not hard enough to make the string bend visibly) from your palm should make it come off. If it stays put, it's too tight.

If it's any consolation Rob, I am definitely considering buying one of these bows for my wife. I would love to get one for myself too but justifying that move with the wife would be more difficult.
At present she uses a 25# Grozer Hun, it's a great bow and she is very happy using it, the problems arise when shooting distance. As we are Field Archers our courses encompass all kinds of terrain, especially trees and this is where she finds difficulty. Her bow has the capacity to shoot the distance and more, however the cast is such that overhanging branches often impede the flight of the arrow. She has no problem holding at full draw and I'm convinced that she could handle a Hwarang of 35# or more after reading the reports. I was going to quiz Thomas about his thoughts on this nearer the time (funds won't stretch to a bow at the moment

) With the extra poundage and speed, hopefully the cast problem will be eliminated and when she starts praising the bow it should be a little easier to convince her that I should get one

I jsut tested my hwarang on the Chorie a few days ago.

I am shootin a 29" (74 cm) arrow, at 29" the bows weight is 73 pounds, I tested with two types and weight arrows.

Wood arrow, 29" long, 3.5"(89 mm) long feathers, 10 mm tall, weight 559 grains (36.3 grams)
Out of 10 shots its average speed was 195 FPS, its highest was 198 FPS.

Phragimite cane, 29" long, 4"(102 mm) long feathers, 10 mm tall, weight 415 grains(26.8 grams)
Out of 10 shots its average speed was 220 FPS, its highest was 224 FPS.

That's impressive performance. How does the 73lbs feel to draw compared to other bows?

I like the fell of it, I was shooting 65 pounds before going to this bow. It does not feel like I am pulling anymore weight, Although I noticed that I could not shoot as much as I usually do at a time , Do to fatigue. Besides that It did not take me long to start shooting well with this bow.
