    Bow
    Koreans have been known throughout history as a people skilled with the bow. The bow was the most important and excellent weapon of war for Korea, and considered a tool for training the mind and character of seonbi scholars. The bow was not only handled with great skill, but also created in Korea with the world's most advanced techniques.
    The bow, the protector of the Korean peninsula.
    In this episode, we examine how bows large and small gave Korea a military advantage and protected the nation through the ages.

    예로부터 '동이족'이라 불리며 활을 잘 다루던 민족으로 알려졌던 한국인.
    우리나라에서 활은 가장 중요하고 뛰어난 전쟁 무기였고, 선비들의 심신단련과 인격도야를 위한 필수과목이었다. 최고의 전투무기로 사용했던 우리나라 활은 당시 궁수의 기술뿐만 아니라 활의 제조술도 세계에서 가장 훌륭했다.
    한반도를 지켜온 힘, 활.
    작은 크기의 활로 최고의 전투력을 가졌던 한국이 우수할 수밖에 없었던 이유와 한반도를 지켜온 힘이 어디서부터 비롯되었는지 알아보자.

    Great video. the Korean bow is in a unique category in relation to other Asian bows, even though many nations/people-groups have developed insane good bows. I have shot with recurve bow for years and have just obtained my first Korean laminated bow and it is absolutely fantastic to shoot. When a used to a draw of 27"- 30", then it's like a new world when one shoot with these bows that one can draw back 31-34"(maybe longer, too..) "The kick" a get of shooting such bows are incredibly great, so, for me it has been difficult to go back to recurve bows after I have got the technique to sit with this type of bow.. my humble opinion is that Korea makes the world's best bows.

    Sorry but you guys have to do better research. Korea didn't start at Joseon. And neither did our archery culture. I know for a fact that there archeological proof that Koreans habe been archers since Goguryeo, and I'd even go as far as to say maybe earlier. We have a VERY intimate relationship with archery, and it didn't start in Joseon.

      Korea did start at Joseon; means Gojoseon; means Old Joseon, which is Oldest contury of Korean peninsula.
      also Goguryeo is called as Goryeo at that time. either of name's are used but Goryeo is more often but fixed as Goguryeo at later Goryeo period for prevent confusion.
      Joseon - Pre three kingdoms(Booyeo, Okjeo, Dongyea, Mahan, Byeonhan, Jinhan, etc...) - Three kingdoms(Goryeo, Baeckjae, Silla, Gaya, Booyeo, etc...) - Two kingdoms(Silla, Balhae) - Later Three kingdoms(Hoo Goguryeo; later Goryeo, Hoo Baeckjae, Silla) - Goryeo - Joseon - Daehan jaegook(Empire) - Japanese occupation - Daehan mingook(Republic)
      archery cultuer of (Later) Joseon of this Video is simply that is what remaining today in Korea.

      @@elvenisar the Joseon the program was referring to is 15th century Joseon. It says it in the first century if the program. Furthermore Korea didn't start at Gojoseon, that was the first documented nation in Korean history, but it isn't the start or origin of Korean people. Our people are linguisticly and culturally linked to the Siberian people who live around Lake Baikal. We've been in Korea since the Paleolithic age 40,000bce-30,000bce. The Jeulmun period 8000bce is the first culture in the peninsula, and that was even before Gojoseon. Then there was Mumun period 1500 to 300bce. During this time trade and influences from China began, and so did rice agriculture and the birth if many indigenous traditions. Gojoseon was the first nation built upon Chinese influences, such as writing, government etc. Gojoseon was also when we adopted writing to record our history as far as we know. But there was a whole few thousand years of people in the Korean peninsula and Manchuria who where linguisticly and ethnically distinct from other people.

      "우리의 화살을 쏘는곳에는 투구와 갑옷으로 피할수 있지만, 조총은 군사와 말이 당해낼수 없습니다". 라고 기록하고 있음.
      즉 조선의 화살은 갑옷과 투구에 막히는대 일본의 조총은 갑옷으로는 막을수가 없다는 내용의 기록임.ㅋㅋㅋ
      그때 당시 각궁은 갑옷을 뚫으려면 편전을 필수로 사용해야 했으나 편전은 명중률이 낮아서 조총에 비할 위력이 안나왔다고 함. 그마저도 편전을 정확하게 쏠정도로 훈련된 병사도 많지 않았음ㅇㅇ

      맞는 말은 아님. 그건 임란이전 조총에 대한 조선의 평가임. 하지만 임란 이후 조선이 조총으로 무장했던 것만봐도 그 말이 틀린말이라는 걸 짐작 할수 있음.
      까놓고 말해 그당시 화살이 총알보다 멀리 날아가던 시대냐? 하면 그것부터가 틀린 말임.
      그때당시 조선은 총의 유효사거리와 화살의 최대사거리를 비교하는 오류를 범했음. 그때당시 조총이라 할지라도 최대사거리는 약 300미터 이상에 80~100미터 거리에서도 갑옷을 능히 뚫는 위력이었음. 다만 50미터를 넘어가면 명중률이 매우 낮아져, 사람이 쏴서 맞추기 어려웠기 때문에 유효사거리가 50미터라고 봤던 것임.
      임진왜란 이전부터 조선은 조총의 존재는 알고 있었으나 자세히는 알지 못했음. 위 언급한 내용처럼 조총은 사거리가 50미터 가량이라고 알고 있었으므로, 왜인들이 사용하는 조총이 활에 위협이 될리가 없다고 판단했었음ㅇㅇ
      그러나 그건 크나큰 오류였음. 뭣보다 조선은 조총의 위력을 전혀 몰랐음.
      위 설명처럼 궁시로는 뚫을수 없는 거리에서도 조총은 갑옷을 아주 쉽게 뚫어재꼈으므로, 조선은 이에 조총의 위력에 놀라는 기록을 많이 남겼음ㅇㅇ
      특히 각궁은 갑옷을 뚫으려면 편전을 사용해야했는대, 편전은 사거리에비해 명중률이 엄청 낮았음. 갑옷을 뚫을수 있느냐? 라는 명제가 달린다면 조총이 훨씬 명중률이 높고 사거리도 길며 위력적이었다는 것임.
      순조때 서영보라는 사람 순조에게 이렇게 말했다고함. 활로 갑옷을 뚫으려면 편전을 사용해야 하며, 그것은 가장 숙련되고 정교한 기술인 것은 맞으나, 조총에비하면 아무것도 아니라고 하였음.
      그러자 순조는 총이라는 것이 언제 어디서 만들어진 물건이지는 알수 없으나, 쏘게 되면 반드시 살과 뼈를 꿰뚫어 사람을 죽게 만드니 총이 등장하고서 명장이 없었다는 말은 과연 신뢰할만하다. 라고 감탄하였다고 함.
      즉 조선은 처음에 조총을 얕보았을 지언정 직접 위력을 경험해보고는 감탄해 마지않아 조총을 주력으로 사용하게 되었음.
      이렇듯 조선은 조총을 본격적으로 사용한 뒤부터 조총의 성능에 감탄하는 기록을 많이 남겼으며, 특히 활과 비교하는 기록을 많이 남겼는대 하나같이 활보다 조총을 인정해줬음.

    Korean Bow/Gakgung. are great in mobility.
    I've heard of english longbow having over 200 lbs draw weight but haven't heard any composite bow with such draw weight.
    Each bow is unique in their own ways. Different methods, of both making and using. I adore and respect them all and despised comparing them.

      There were Korean warriors who's archery skills were excellent. There is a looooong history of Archery in Korea. It is obvious that ordinary archers won't be able to hit someone from 200 to 400 meters away, but few were able to back in the day. There were recorded details of those feats. You have to remember that these experts practiced ALOT since when they were really young.
      Also, back in the day, when the armies meet, you don't aim for individual soldier. You aim in the general direction of the masses. So, you saying shooting down a man at 300 m is a stretch is PRETTY SILLY. These Bows had a max range of about 500 meters. 300 meter is not a stretch to shoot a group of people running towards you with MANY arrows. That is how Koreans defended their defensive position back in the day.
