Kaya bows are actually used on Chorean Archery Schools. In a vid from one Chorean Archery School, they explained: In competitions they normally use a real horn bow, of this style, but for training in the school, they use Kaya bows, with carbon... Still, a few, also use Kaya carbon bows for the competitions... They shoot 145 meters, in training and in competitions... Another vid from Chorea said: In Chorea the people never stopped shooting bows, so they have the "unbroken line of archery techniques", from the "Stone Age Hunters"... Unlike many other nations, in which archery was banned for a few centuries, one or several times, "after a new King had invaded, and had taken the power"... Then it was simply ilegal to make and own any kind of weapons, so only "the kings' men" and his army, were armed... But a few centuries later, the people no longer "protested the rulership", and then archery, was again allowed... However, then most had forgotten "the old ways, from their own nation", and needed to "revive archery"... Often by reading books from other nations... Even when Chorea has the "unbroken line of archery", they use several different ways of doing the kathra (khastra), and some use the "STRING TWIST" too... While drawing the string, the string hand is rotated, so the thumb press the string to the right, below the arrow, and the "first bone" on the pointer finger, near the "root joint", press the string to the left, above the arrow... So the string "zig-zag"... You need to keep a good distance, between the arrow and the fingers, so the thumb is almost two cm below, and the root of the pointer finger press in the same distance above... Then the arrow nock is "in line with the string"... While the middle of the pointer finger, press lightly to the arrow, to keep it in place on the bow... And it is the "Long Finger" which assists the thumb, by pressing on its tip... Then it looks like the pointer finger "just lay relaxed, down over the thumb". Then they have a leather (skin) protection "glove", which only covers the "the root joint" of the pointer finger, where it press hard to the string, and the finger, out till the "first joint", where the string slides, against the finger... I simply made a "skin ring", 2 cm wide, from front to rear, with a piece of 4 by 2,5 cm thick leather sewn on, and that works perfectly... The stiches through the leather, goes in and comes out, on the "under side side", by simply bending the leather strip, while pressing the straight needle though, so no thread comes to the upper side, where the string will slide over it... Without that protection, it HURTS, when the string slide along the pointer finger... The "string twist", hinders, that the thumb push the string and arrow, to the right side, after which, it will bounce back, passing "neutral" and comes to the left side, and will come closer to the bow, while passing... That "starts the fishtailing motion", but when using proper string twisting, the arrow leaves the bow, totally straight... You can best see the result, when practising, only 2 meter from the target... While doing the string twist, they also use the "forward kathra", and the "wrist jerk" to the left... But I saw none, who "assisted the sideways Khastra (Kathra)", by "trowing the string hand back, to point to the rear"... When "forcing the string hand fast back, in an arch, to the rear", you force the bow arm and hand a bit to the left... That is obviously "not needed", when performing the basic kathra correctly... While "forward kathra" CAN be enough, to avoid the arrow hits the bow, and is "most easy to learn", then the "wrist jerk" is much harder to learn, and both techniques, can only be done well, with short and lightweight bows... But the "string twist", can be done on any bow, if you draw with the thumb... In theory, you can also make a "string twist", when shooting with three fingers, in which case, you shall press the thumb hard, against the string, above the arrow... Then you might draw with the three fingers under the arrow, and press the thumb hard against the string, above the arrow... Again, "keep a distance to the arrow end", like 1,5 or 2 two cm from it... Armin has shown the "string twist", but did not explain "why it works"... Using an efficiant Khastra, is even more important on the traditional Chorean bows, as they have a wider "arrow pass", than most other "Asian bows"... And also have a rather low string height.. Greetings and thanks, to you, Armin, for spreading the knowledge, about traditional "Asian Archery", and for all your fine bow reviews... I will suggest, you make a new vid, about Khastra, (Kathra), and explain to all, "why the String Twist helps"... Note: Khastra / Kathra, simply means "cast throw", said as "Cast'thro", meaning "cast shot"... Like "Siyahs" simply means "The Ears", said as "Th'ears"... Kind regards to you, and all, from Dan in Denmark
I have hardly slept, but watching your videos are full of emotion and give you a new day full of adventures, Korean Bows are one on my list but for now I can't mention at home I want to buy.😁 KAYA's are very efficient and fast, well, that's what I see from the videos of some good friends. The one you used is very fun to use for practice and not get so tired. Thanks for another video.😀 We love to see you shoot.🎯Cheers🙏
I have a #50 Wind Fighter and it's pretty great. At first I was a bit unsure about the modern aesthetics of the bow but it grew on me, and how it feels when you shoot it is the important thing anyway. Even at #50 it feels lighter than my other #40 bows, I do find it a bit tricky to string though, very recommended.
Kayas are very fast. Here in Texas they prefer recurves of 50 and when someone enters the ranch with a KAYA they are surprised how that arrow flies so fast
I have seen this bow in action.... at a 125m ladies clout. I was impressed, it got the arrows there on a very windy day - definitely lives up to its name!
Great bow. Got an older one @ 37#. I'm the 3rd owner and it works fine for many, many years. Bought 2 new Kaya "Firefox" @ 45#. One delaminated. Got a replacement no problem. Two are working fine.

"The gods of Korean archery" rsrs. I love your side comments
I just asked if he tested a Kaya bow last week so it was a surprise that this video came out. I have a 30# Kaya Firefox and I love it planning to get a #55 Windfighter someday.
Nice shooter it's one now I haven't added to my collection yet. I think I'd go with the 52" model so I could get the 32.5" draw length. They seem quite reliable they shoot these bows all over the world and you don't hear much about delaminations just limb twist. I think it would be a great comparison to see which style of bows are more efficient than the other. They say Korean style bows are alot like shooting a Crimean tartar style bow. Thanks for the review my friend. Hopefully my wiggly bow will be here today we'll see. Thank you Armin!
Hi, thank you for your review. Kaya is my fisrt bow not the same model but I love this kind of bow. I think the handle is a little bit shorty for my hand but once you're trained with it, it's not a problem. Go back see your videos which learn me archery as the noob who I am 😉
Thank you for all the awesome reviews, I just bought this one in 50Pound, and im a archery noob, so This bow will not be shot by me in a few months, its my reward when I get better and learn how to shoot, for some reason this bow speaks to me, for now I will use my recurve 30 pounder. Thank you again..Edit...Hells Bells
Someone at my archery club has the smaller blue version that's even snappier and faster but you can't draw 32". They're pretty cool bows, the handle certainly is very unique.
finaly the kaya bows... was wondering why you never tested them as they are one of the highest rated horsebows that you can buy in german shops, no ordering from china/asia. saw a review of a 45 pound windfighter and he measured it at 207 fps, dont remember arrow weight.
Nice review, thank you very much. I buyed this bow in 20# (For beginning with Speedshooting and trying around some kinds of draw) and the arrow is so much faster as with my 20# recurve.
Been waiting for this review! I'd love a Korean style bow and the 52" version of this seems like great value. Although I also really like the look of the Alibow Segye.. Too much choice.. Anyway great review, thanks for sharing.
I shoot a kaya nomad 53" 40#@31. Used 32" 9.2gpi and shot >220 meters. Draw around 31", thumb release. Great to shoot and very smooth draw. I think it is worth the money.
After seeing your review I found the KTB (Leather wrapped) 55# at 31" for under $130. As you say, a very nice surprisingly good shooter: no stacking, smooth draw and accurate. I'm not that fond of the Korean grip but it works well. You do have to be careful when stringing. Thanks again Armin.
I just love my Kaya bows. I've got a Windfighter(50", 45#) and a KTB Carbon(48", 50#). This week I get a 53" and 35# KTB from Nomad. They are damn fast, easy to draw and durable. Mediterranean is possible, but in my experience I would say only for 50" bows or longer. I think a 48" hurts while drawing 3 fingers. I simply shoot them with the thumb. Easy peasy😉
I think korean manufactured bows in general are often made with good production control and good quality/durability of the lamination technology, but perhaps not always with the very best finish. I hope you will get a chance to shoot the new "chinese style" bow (long siyahs and so on) from Freddie Archery, "Dynasty".
One thing that I found a bit difficult with the Korean bow is the zone where the arrow passes, they usually wrap a piece of leather so that the arrow does not damage the bow, but the leather does not last very long...Traditionally the Koreans shoot with the technique that ''flips" the bow to the side to let the arrow passing, so that there is very little friction between the arrow and the leather. This technique is not very easy to master for beginners and its influence to accuracy is debatable. Otherwise, one must consider buying arrows with the correct deflection versus draw weight so that the arrow does not deflect too much during its initial flight stage, or wrap some other abrasion resistant material on top of the leather.
I've got a 45# Windfighter and a 50# KTB and both can easily reach 200-210 fps. If I use more lightweight arrows, the 50# would possibly reach more than 210.
This Korean Bow is super interesting. I saw you review One of Alibow. Compared to the Korean style, which one do you like best if they were both pounds? I do not understand why thumb down if the review is very professional and the Bow is very good.
I own a kaya ktb. Im looking forward to more korean videos. I wish i could find more instruction on korean technique and finding the correct arrows though...
@@dedrabbit848 Mine is 40 and its difficult on my thumb with the glove. I like the glove the bow comes with though, i chopped the tips off and it was to my liking. The bow shoots nice but i think the material quality is a little low for the price. I have a old mountain mesa longbow that i bought for less that i feel is constructed much better.
I also have 3 different korean bows. 45#, 50# and 60#. Because they are comparatively cheap and easily available. And durable. However they have a rather exponential Draw curve and really Stack at some point.with Other bows with wider limbs i can make a cleaner Release. Maybe a beginners issue 😜 also every korean bow seems to Work best with one specific Arrow weight and rather Stiff arrows. Other bows seem to have a wider range.
I don't have the Kaya but I have a white feather that looks the same , and I love that bow , such a pleasure to shoot and the reason i perciviered with thumb ring Asiatic archery And also your great videos I might have to buy a no factory produced Korean bow one day, but as these rather cheap bows so out perform their price tag perhaps I will save my pennies
Hi Mick! Fun to see someone else having a White Feather bow. I`m a beginner and bought the Fairy 50 35#. I`m curious to hear your experience with yours, as I have nothing to compare it to, and there`s no reviewa or anything online that i can find. I have a feeling my bow starts to stack at or around 30", but up until that point is very smooth. Regards Øystein
@@OysteinJ2 I feel mine at about 31" but that's fine , I wrapped the grip area with self adhering tape 3M vetwrap as I found grip a bit narrow , and I wore out the leather on arrow pass , the bow seems happy with all arrows , easy to string It's a really deceptive bow , it does not look like it' quality hand built bit it totally performs ,
Mick Jenner I’ m considering wrapping mine as well, for the exact same reasons🙂 otherwise I’ m pleased with the bow. Although I’m currently waiting for a manchu😁 New AS I am to the game, I can feel it in my bones that this is a lifetime affliction😊
@@OysteinJ2 I prefer my white feather, manchu is a great bow but it's heavy ,my manchu is 40# at35 . Nice bow but the feather is so handy You have a norweigan sounding name , I live 17km North of Oslo
Hah geil. Endlich. Hab mich dauernd gefragt wann mal was dazu zu kommt und dann gibt's ein Video zu dem Bogen den ich auch habe. Super. Danke schön PS: diese Kratzer/Einschlüsse hab ich auch auf dem Lack. Leider. Wird wohl ein Produktionsfehler sein.
Hi Armin, Can you do a comparo between AliBow’s Segye bow 45 lbs 43 inches vs Daylite Monarq (or Phoenix) 45 lbs @ 44 inches. I know youre partial to the Chinese-made Segye, but now a Korean made contender showed up. (Side note: I just sold a brand new Segye... I could pull a 55lbs! I normally shoot recurves 56” 58” 60” 62”.... but I know Segye is a shorter stick. Thanks ADIN Honolulu, Hawaii
왜냐구? 터키가 원래는 대한민국 가까이에 살면서 동맹국 이였는데, 현제 지역으로 이동했습니다. 기원전 대한민국의 고대 지배계급은 중앙아시아 국가들( 터키, 헝가리, 카자흐스탄, 투르키스탄, 위그루, 몽골)과 같은 문명으로 문화와 유물을 공유 하였고, 한반도에 고대 가야국의 첫번째 왕은 해양을 통해온 인도 공주와 결혼하여 불교문화와 이주민이 유입 되었고, 농경 원주민들과 함께 여러 과정을 통해 발전하여 현제 대한민국이 되었습니다. 결론적으로 인근에 살던 터키는 서쪽으로 멀리 갔고, 고려(조선)는 동남쪽으로 이동하여 한반도의 대한민국이 되었습니다.
I really don't like the design, look too much modern, doesn't fit with the design of the grip. Incredible how the design of an asian bow is important for me.

Yep, OOPS - oh well 😁
can happen
Of course. No criticism intended, I genuinely thought TH-cam had glitched.
So glad you did this review 👍

we call it khatra, its not so hard to learn I did some videos about it. But yes you are right
@@ArminHirmer Good to know the equivalent name!
you say it's not a speed monster ... but 160fps from a #25 bow is damned impressive ... how fast is a #45 bow ?
and it looks beautiful.
Right? Those were my thoughts exactly
saw a review of a 45# and it measured 207 fps
I've got a 45# Windfighter and a 50# KTB and both can easily reach 200-210 fps. If I use more lightweight arrows, the 50# would possibly reach more than 210.

can you review Epic Zan Tradisional bow, this bow i think very great to review
If they send me one, I will
@@ArminHirmer hehehehe😂👍🏼
Have you ever reviewed the Samick Mind 50? 🏹
not yet :)
A bit more expensive than the AF takedown Tatar bow.. How would these two compare in draw experience, handling and durability?
Almost exactly the same as my first horse bow. But mine had a thinner handle and I think thinner limbs.
Do you have any Japanese bows?
Only Hankyus
Armin did Kaya stopped producing these?
I was able to buy 48" 45 lbs at 31" Black Cat for 100 euro during Black Friday.
Ok. So just to be clear , this is a 25lb bow that shoots approx 145-150 fps? This is at 31"?
yes
Nice and informative video
Armin vs the church bell. My bets are on Armin winning.
Natürlich ist ein 25 Pfund Windy leicht. Mein 60er ist fast doppelt so schwer.
A question. Semester like you show with The 3 fether towards The bow, is that correct ?
Yes, I don't care about odd feathers as it totally does not change anything
Is the brace height for upper limb and lower limb are the same for this bow? I tbink tbis bow is not symmetrical bow.
It is not. I believe it's an asymmetrical bow
Segye or kaya,which one do you think is better?
Do you unstring the snake bows when they are not in use?
yes always
I read Malta is always ringing bells,,
Now I no it's true,, lol
Late response but can you do a review of the Kaya Black Cat? I have ordered a 46 inch 45#
They are all pretty similar I guess. I will see if I can get my hands on one and you simply enjoy yours :$
I have a kaya windfighter, i wanted one for long... it's i nice little bow. mine bent really much more with my 32inches of draw length xD
Another bow for the list. I am rather drawn to the Korean bows though.
where can i buy that bow?
Freddie bow and kaya bow witch one the best
Depends on your budget
Let's say I can afford to buy both. Which one is your choice?
I am interested in wind fighters and black shadow..
Take the arrows in the draw hand. 😎
Hi Armin,
Can you do a comparo between AliBow’s Segye bow 45 lbs 43 inches vs Daylite Monarq (or Phoenix) 45 lbs @ 44 inches.
I know youre partial to the Chinese-made Segye, but now a Korean made contender showed up.
(Side note: I just sold a brand new Segye... I could pull a 55lbs! I normally shoot recurves 56” 58” 60” 62”.... but I know Segye is a shorter stick.
Thanks

Hi. I soon will have a segue in 45# and 3 other Korean bows in 50-60# :)
Nice bow kaya
it is a low poundage bow but it is amazingly fast.
The limbs are pure fiberglass? Do they function/feel more like fiberblass asiatics or laminated asiatics?
they feel like laminated
Why is there no price on their website?
The don’t sell directly I guess only to retailers
@@ArminHirmer do you know some retailers please?
Im wondering, why do you measure the 60° angle ?
Will do a video one day
Correction...
I couldnt pull a 55 lbs
What are the differences between this and the Fire Fox?
Cosmetics and finishes
Wie schießt er sich auf lange Distanz `?
auf 30m super, mehr hab ich noch nicht getestet. sind dahingehend ein wenig eingeschränkt auf Malta
Can someone remind me what his f value is again?
Video is coming
Kaya wind fighter or black shadow?
good question. many Koreans will come to Malta soon, then we do comparisons
Hi, Kaya Ktb is better than Kaya wing figther ?
I shot the KTB long time ago, but I don't have an impression left like I got from the wind fighter
Thank you !
👍👍👍👏👏👏😄
왜냐구? 터키가 원래는 대한민국 가까이에 살면서 동맹국 이였는데, 현제 지역으로 이동했습니다. 기원전 대한민국의 고대 지배계급은 중앙아시아 국가들( 터키, 헝가리, 카자흐스탄, 투르키스탄, 위그루, 몽골)과 같은 문명으로 문화와 유물을 공유 하였고, 한반도에 고대 가야국의 첫번째 왕은 해양을 통해온 인도 공주와 결혼하여 불교문화와 이주민이 유입 되었고, 농경 원주민들과 함께 여러 과정을 통해 발전하여 현제 대한민국이 되었습니다.
결론적으로 인근에 살던 터키는 서쪽으로 멀리 갔고, 고려(조선)는 동남쪽으로 이동하여 한반도의 대한민국이 되었습니다.
But do you know that the production of this bow ended three or four years ago?
nope, one can still buy them, so fine for me
Kaya still shows it on their website and new bows are available to buy... so?
What has always puzzled me with Kaya's is the claim that their bows are FF compatible. And yet, these bows have leather clad string nocks xD
like the pen ;-)
Poor Armin his review turned into the gong show lol
"I shot mediteranian rubbish" LMAO
I really don't like the design, look too much modern, doesn't fit with the design of the grip. Incredible how the design of an asian bow is important for me.
