Asymmetric Hun bow handling?

4 posts2015live thread

Hi, I recent bought a Kassai's Falcon asymmetric bow during my trip to Hungary. It was really an accident as I originally have no intention to buy a bow, but one day as I walk down the street in Budapest, I pass by a Hungarian traditional folk item shop and saw the bow through the window. The price is better than online shops and the poundage is right too, I just couldn't walk away without it.
However I have never owned an asymmetric bow before and I do not know if there is anything special I should pay attention to when using one. For example. should I install the nock point at different location dues to the shorter bottom limb? The lady who owns the shop does not know archery, nor did she provide me any instructions, so I could only try to find answer on my own. If anyone here have handled an asymmetric hun bow, could you please kindly tell me if there is anything to note when handling one of these bows?

Thanks a lot

Whan you pull itt, will see that the top of the gripp will moveing away from you, so the whole gripp will have an angle. That indicate a different nock point.
Just make some test shots and find the right point. As I see it allows max 33 drawlenght and take care whan brace the bow, the bottom limb is sensitive for bad stringing.

Kassai haven' t got an english honepage? Schould find informations from the bow on the web.

Kassai's website only says care should be taken upon bending and the limbs should be loaded evenly but did not mention specific detail.

So if one end of the grip moves away from me it indicates wrong nock point and I should try until I find that the grip stays balanced in the draw? Thanks a lot for the info

This bow types have a higher nock point than a simmertical bow.
