Where can I buy a traditional korean hornbow ?
Hi!
I am new in this forum so I will introduce myself ...
My name is Jonathan, I am a student in mechanic engineering in Canada, more precisely in quebec. I have been interested in archery for a long time but I've only just disovered the fascinating world of composite bows.
So I am surfing on the net to get enough knowledge to try to build my own traditional korean bow by myself.
The matter is that I would like to buy a real korean hornbow too but I don't manage to find the address of any korean bowyer.
I used the search function but it didn't give me the good answers.
Could you help me to find any bowyer who makes good korean hornbows ?
Thank you for your interest (and I apologize for my english).

Korean horn bowyer build their bows in fall and next spring their bows are ready for sale. Almost all their horn bows will sold out after may.
Go visit a bowyer around april and may, talk to him, And most important thing is you have to show him that you know how to string, heat and adjust the bow.
Approved by bowyer then you will have one of his horn bow cost 600,000 Korean money.(around 600 USD). That's how I got my Korean horn bow from Master Kim Pa Yung (金博榮)
