First shots and impressions Yeon Mu Gung YMG 연무궁 75#@28" Korean bow KTB

[@miguelveratraditionalarche9374]

Merry Christmas Richard awesome shots and definitely beautiful Korean bow. Enjoy the Holidays 😊

[@KTBIOM]

Thank you! You too!

[@Richardsmith001]

My kaya windfighter is marked at 28 draw as well. At my draw, it measures about 127lb

[@KTBIOM]

@@Richardsmith001 That is outstanding. I'm hoping to get to 100#, but 127# feels out of this world.

[@이승표-k9l]

Thanks for new video! I have been waiting for it. And what a bow!!! mine is just 45 pounds and I am struggling with it lol. Take good care for your elbow(left), stay hydrated during your training. Most of all, happy and merry Christmas.

[@KTBIOM]

@@이승표-k9l Thank you. 3 fingers did my elbow in. Thumb draw feels good with every weight. With practice you will soon be comfortable with your bow. Keep up the good work. Merry Xmas to you too.

[@DanielPadilla-w7i]

Merry Christmas! Enjoy that beautiful bow!

[@KTBIOM]

@@DanielPadilla-w7i Thank you

[@StevensArcheryJourney]

Merry Christmas to you! It's really throwing those arrows downrange!

[@KTBIOM]

@@StevensArcheryJourney Thank you. It certainly is.

[@Slingshotsbowsandknifes-tm4ev]

Merry Christmas ! This a very fast bow. Looks beautiful!

[@KTBIOM]

@@Slingshotsbowsandknifes-tm4ev Thanks. I'll find out one day how fast it actually is. But yes. It seems to teleport arrows to the target.

[@mrln247]

It looks great. Good bet it's lightning fast. I too like the challenge of trying to control a powerful bow.

[@KTBIOM]

Yeah. I'm waiting for 200 spine arrows. Once I get and test them, I'm hoping to do a speed test of the YMG and CJG which is much overdue. Might also redo the Majesty for a baseline. Need dry weather, not too sunny and little to no wind.

[@mrln247]

@KTBIOM The weather has been repeatedly awful. I would say don't rush into doing speed tests although you do look to have been pulling it with confidence.

[@KTBIOM]

@mrln247 Yes it has been recently. I was getting some sideways arrows with the CJG and actually hid a vane on the chronograph bending it. Hoping I can improve my release and experiment with stiffer arrows to get better flight. It will take some time, as seen with the CJG but will happen. Maybe in the spring.

[@johnf3f810]

Nice looking bow and it seems to perform well, happy new bow! Just curious as to why you use such high poundage bows. Not a criticism - just interested. I mainly shoot "Clout" (180yds) and 30 to 35# is plenty with my Korean bows using wooden/carbon arrows. Back in the 90's I damaged my shoulder by using heavy bows and have seen many archers have similar problems.

[@KTBIOM]

@@johnf3f810 I get a real buzz out of it. The more effort I put in, the more enjoyment I get. Could be a dopamine thing. It's been a steady progression. With each bow, I've gone up in weight, and each one has felt more satisfying than the previous one. For me, it's not accuracy or hitting the target that is fun. If it was I might as well shoot a crossbow or compound. For me, I like to be able to shoot a bow, with all my body, at a boss, without breaking any arrows. I'd rather have a 12" group, than a 3" group, to minimise breaking arrows. I do it for fun. I also don't want to injure myself. I am learning technique too. It's not just about strength. sites.google.com/view/beyond-strength/home#h.p_ZRotrVkXU_kt Over here there is no clout, so I shoot short-ish distances, and I prefer a flat trajectory that higher poundage bows provide. Sorry to hear about your injury. It's a real concern to me, as I don't want to have to stop archery.

[@robertclarke7807]

Congratulations on the new bow Can't wait for your progress videos. I've just started Asiatic archery and was curious about the leather device on your draw index finger. Is it a finger protector of some sought?

[@KTBIOM]

@@robertclarke7807 Yes. It was a freebie added to the Cheonjigung order by Ace Archery. I hadn't thought about this but my index finger was getting sore from string twist. I'll do a quick review next weekend and show what it is and how it looks. Quite simple to make with the right skills / tools.

[@KTBIOM]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/rILGgqOJgciUhK8si=w6nUQelKamMyfHAb If you look at around 12:45 in this video link above (don't click on the blue timestamp link as it will take you to the current video), you can see how my index finger gets roughed up from the string when doing string twist. The guard protects this area and my hand is now back to normal.

[@robertclarke7807]

Thanks,looking forward to the video ​@KTBIOM

[@robertclarke7807]

​@@KTBIOMThanks again

[@ReignXp]

Hello, I have been enjoying your content for a while now, and I have grown more invested in Korean style bows because of it 🙂. I'm currently saving for my next purchase, which is a step up from what I currently own. Currently, I have my eyes on the SMG, Cheonji, and Monarq. Which of the bows in your collection offered you the most pleasurable shooting experience? Also, in your opinion, which would you recommend overall? I hope you have a wonderful day, thank you.

[@KTBIOM]

@@ReignXp SMG are not the same as they used to be. Cheonji is good but tricky to get. Knowing what I know now, and if I could only had one bow, I'd just have the Daylite Majesty. They're relatively affordable, Daylite delivers fast, they have good pedigree, and a good after sales warranty for peace of mind. The Monarq has a good reputation and I would recommed it as a first Korean bow.

[@ReignXp]

​@@KTBIOMthanks so much!🙂

[@jimbrunett5025]

The craftsmanship I’ve seen on a few ymg bows seems sloppy,but outstanding performers

[@KTBIOM]

Other than a few blemishes on the birch bark, seems OK for now. Not sure if goja is meant to be offset or bent at this stage. Will keep an eye on it.

[@jimbrunett5025]

@@KTBIOM I’m waiting the arrival of a 45# KTB2 bow. How do you think they compare?

[@KTBIOM]

@@jimbrunett5025 Kaya KTB 2 or Freddie Archery Authentic KTB2? I have not shot either so have no comparison basis. Just whatever is available on YT for comparison.

[@jimbrunett5025]

Thank you for answering my questions. I like hearing about these bows as I have become very interested in these koerean bows and thumb draw. I have always shot traditional and have a few longbows and recurves. What nock do you use on string? Brass or tie your nocks?

[@KTBIOM]

@@jimbrunett5025 Just a single nock on top, except on the Majesty. I cocked up and put it too low, so put another in and now sits between both. I usually use serving material.

[@wannabearcher5680]

Hello I have question Whats the difference between the ymg and hwarang? what would you recommend

[@KTBIOM]

@@wannabearcher5680 My understanding is that Dr Duvernay sources YMG to sell under his brand Hwarang. www.hwarangarchery.com/ He was the only way of getting a YMG outside of Korea for a while. I think in the past he also sold SMG as Hwarang. As such other than cosmetics YMG and Hwarang are just as good.

[@wannabearcher5680]

​@KTBIOM Thank you. I had a black shadow from freddie archery so I'm considering upgrading to a more premium korean bow. There's just many options to choose from!

[@KTBIOM]

@wannabearcher5680 Yeah. I know what you mean. I started with. A black Shadow but didn't like the handle.

[@wannabearcher5680]

​@@KTBIOM I'm trying to checkout on ymg website. I'm based in UK. What's the best method for checkout? Payco? Npay? They don't seem to have PayPal option 😅

[@KTBIOM]

You can't. Website is domestic only. You need to email Mr Kim. Use the email at the foot of the page and send him a screenshot of your order options. Other issue is that you need to pay with a direct bank transfer.
