Assassin Korean Traditional Bow Review

Korea has one of the most vibrant and exciting archery communities in the world. So it's no surprise that they should bring us the elegant, powerful, and deadly Assassin traditional bow. Designed in the traditional Korean style, this bow features graceful curves, a compact size, light weight, and s...urprising power. At 53" it is slightly longer than the average Korean bow (when strung). Features a hard maple core sandwiched between carbon strips and dark green fiberglass. The tips are reinforced using black leather, with plastic string holders on the back to keep the bow string in the center of the bow. Designed for off-the-knuckle shooting, the riser is wrapped with leather, then topped with a comfortable suede grip. Comes with a FastFlight endless loop bow string. Available in draw weights of 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, and 55# @ 31" draw. Please specify. We recommend using a bow glove with this bow. See the Hawkwood Bow Glove here. See Classic, Brass, and Leather thumb rings here. Bow Length: 53" (string groove-to-string groove) Draw Weight: 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, or 55# @ 31" draw String: FastFlight endless Loop, 48½" long Loop size: 3-5/8" Recommended Brace Height: 5½"-6" Remember that with a traditional bow the weight will change depending upon what your draw length is. Bow weight will change approximately ±2½ pounds for every inch from a bow's rated draw length. So a bow rated 45# @ 31" bow is roughly a 42½# @ 30" or 47½# @ 32". Draw weight is marked at the nearest 5# increment to actual weight, (2#'s under and 3#'s over). This is an industry wide standard. Bow stringer not included. A bow stringer is recommended for stringing any recurve bow or longbow. Stringing a bow without a bow stringer, or stringing it backwards will void a bow's warranty.

Never rest the bow on the lower tip for extended periods of time. Never dry fire the bow (shooting without an arrow). 3RIVERS SERVICE: Bow Set-up Read about Longbow and Recurve Set-up
