This is a traditional Korean archery club where they shoot traditional Korean bows like buffalo horn bows.

4:03 So am I correct in saying the arrows don’t stick in the target, they hit and bounce off the target and the judge in the tower decides wether it’s a hit or not? And are the arrowheads blunt, I think I’ve seen a few that looked blunt, I’ve never actually used any bamboo arrows but I’ve always wanted to try some. I love the Korean horsebow/traditional bows though, I have 1 Freddy Archery Black Shadow and 2 White Feather Forever bows, both are 60lbs strength (yes my form isn’t the best, but I can handle it and for the better speed, range and trajectory it’s definitely worth it! :D). I’ve watched a good few videos about Korean archery and I’ve noticed - You guys shoot reeeally really far!! Do you find shooting that far improves your accuracy at closer distances at all?
I’m from Scotland and I live near a forest range, we have a forest course we walk through there and we shoot different targets at different distances and heights. The furthest I’ve shot is 80 yards. The only thing is it’s a one way system, you never walk back or risk getting shot by the guy on the previous target!😰 A lot of people here tend to use a mix of compound bows, flat bows, long bows and full size recurves (takedown recurves too). There’s only 4 people there I know including me who shoot these kind of Korean horse bows and one of them who shoots off both sides and with the thumb ring. I shoot off both sides, both the left and the right hand sides, use the thumb ring and right now I’m kind of working on my khatra too (I get mixed results, probably because I keep mixing all my arrows up).

Thanks for your comments. Because real target is very big size (2.7M height), it will not be easy to take back the arrows hit on upper part of the target butt. So, arrow bouncing with hit or miss target is general rule of official tournament. In case of hit, the target judge announces the hit by flagging.
I think the long-distance shooting(145M) has some historical background. Old military of Korean dynasty were focusing on fortress-oriented defense strategy than attacking by horseback riding and shooting. And military examination and martial exercise were also concentrated on long-distance shooting from ramparts.

@@KpopLyrics365 Yeah that’s a good point actually, I’ve got a fair few of my arrows stuck before in tall target frames and backstops (we have a moving “guillotine” target that comes down to retrieve our arrows from, 1 of mine has been stuck in the frame for about 2 years). I take it somebody eventually retrieves any arrows that fell short on the field or went too far past the target? Mine tend to get buried underground easily since it’s quite strong. Yeah I can see why they would want to keep the enemy at bay and deal with them as far away as they can, being confined to the fort. The horse archer is more agile and can get away with being closer, get in, hit the target and then get out again. Thanks for these videos and insight btw! I always find it interesting how archery can be practiced different, but also share some similarities across different countries and cultures across the world and what they were useful for too :D

Correct. The traditional Korean arrows used for archery practice have a round arrowhead and are designed to bounce off the target. The target itself is designed to bounce off arrows. It is very difficult to find sharp and pointy arrowheads for Korean traditional bows.

how strong bows do you use for 145 metre shooting ? what is the draw weight in general ?

[@notapplicable531]

No one has commented to your question, so I will. I have bows rated from 15 to 47 lbs. I wondered what would be the practical limit to give reasonable results, so I tested them.
First let me explain something about draw weight for my bows. The arrows I use are 30.5 ins. from the nock to the point. They weigh around 370 grains. At that draw length, my bows are about five pounds higher than the bow's rating. That is, a 45 lb. bow reads 50 when drawn that much.
My findings were that a bow rated 35 lbs. is about the minimum. Bows a few pounds less and with lighter arrows might reach the targets, but the chances for any amount of hits was poor.
As to your second question, we have had club members shooting bows about 35 lbs. with shorter and/or lighter arrows, but many give up after a time because of the lack of success. Archers shooting say 37 lbs. + last longer. Into the 40's, archers fit right in. My wife uses a 43 lb. bow and has been doing so for 15 years. She's won a few competions in that time. From the 40's, the bows archers use range from there up into the 60's.

50lb+ with 400-350 arrow

[@UltimateTruthChannel]

Most Korean archers shoot 40 lbs bows or higher. Minimum of 35 lbs bow is required to reach the 145 metre target.
