Are you sure you are spelling the name of this bow correctly?

Without seeing any photos of this bow, I'm guessing your bow is really a korean Horugel take down recurve.

I really don't know very much about the bow. I've seen one and it was a very quiet bow upon arrow release.

On a sidenote, here is a YouTube video. The photographer is lousy. He can't focus and can't hold the camera still. But, at the beginning, there is a good view of the bow.

thanks for the vjdeo thats the bow. I need to figure out brace height and string length. I do longbows only. How do you measure for string length is it along the back of the bow? And is brace on a curve from the back or front of the risor?. It will be for my oldest son and he will shoot carbons from it, can i use seal skin or leather for a rest like i do with my longbows? The recurve thing is totaly new to me. Thanks for the help. Tim
