I hope this is the right forum for this, I looked for a product questions/review area but it said no questions lol. So since I want to know how this holds up for not just practice/target shooting, but hunting as well I think this is the right place, my appologies if its not.
Just wondering if anyone has used, or knows anyone who has used the Kaya Kahn horsebow. I really like the five curve design, I think it would make a great bow for rabbit hunting in thick cover where long bow limbs can catch on bryars, and a good turkey bow because of its compact design and lightweight for hunting in a blind or with your back against a tree. Not to mention deer hunting for the same reasons. I've always been a self bow guy, haven't owned a laminated bow yet, the thought of something that costs hundreds of dollars delaminating in my hands and being useless is not a thought I like to entertain. So does anyone know anything about the durability of this bow? I don't mean like resistance against scratches or dings or being dropped, I don't intend to let that happen lol. I just mean overall durability against the stress of being drawn and shot thousands of times, how does the fiberglass and wood laminations and glue hold up? Is it waterproofed against the elements? I like to still hunt deer during a light rain and a bow that will absorb water, especially something laminated will not survive long if water gets inside and makes the wood swell. Thanks for any input -Matt.
Short length could come in handy and they are not short on power. Though its harder to be accurate with them compared to longer and heavier bows.
I have a Kaya Wind Fighter and it seems to be well made and I pull it to 31". It was only $160. I shoot it using a thumbring.
I think it is made in Korea and Koreans draw up to a point behind the ear. With that in mind, I definitely think it will hold up to a draw to the side of the mouth. The bow in my profile pic is a traditional Korean bow like the Kaya,bought used in Korea.
The Kahn is not meant to be drawn past 28" . You might have to sand the sharp edges off the string nocks . Takes a while to learn how to string it solo .
