sure, this seems like it should be in another section, but, i cheated and got a fi*%rgl*** bow.  so i bought a brand new model from Kaya, its call a Khan  55# @ 28''.  it took me forever to get it strung.  its a korean style bow, i really like the looks of them.  i have another bow, a samick skb 50 that is the same weight, that is a korean style as well.  the difference with this bow, it has an arrow shelf cut out, korean bows dont of course, this model was developed for finger shooters.  ive never shot that type of bow before, they've all been self bows where the arrow has to paradox around the handle.  so, my groups were about 6 inches to the right at about 12 yards.  no big deal, ill just need to spend the day at the range to correct it, as the big wooden fence keeps pulling the points out of my bamboo arrows!  lol





you can see in this picture the amount of reflex and the reason why i had such a hard time stringing it!

 :o Sweet bow how long is it?I been thinking about getting me one of those.Kustom king has some short ones 48,50 inchs.Is there alot of hand shock with those bows?An are they loud. Sorry for the questions.I think if your hunting in a thicket,it would be good.

you wouldnt believe how these shoot!  i cant wait till i can put the Khan through the chronograph.  the samick skb50, it was shooting about 142 fps with an almost 580 grain arrow, 154 with a 430 grain carbon.  so im very interested to see what kind of performance this bow has, especially with the great amount of reflex!  the samick is very light in the hand, the khan is still very light, but it feels like its there..

i believe the khan is 52 total inches long, strung its shorter.  if you wanna compare the length, that arrow is 30.5 inches long.  i dont know about the one you are getting, but these are very smooth shooters.  i do believe there is a bit more stack with the khan, but i think it has to do with the higher string tension early on, i just dont know! lol.  the samick is a breeze to draw, it just doesnt feel like 55#.  its not loud at all.

i was actually planning on making it a stalking bow or whatever, whenever i feel comfortable with it to go hunting.  ive been shooting selfbows without cut outs, so now i have to get used to having a center shot bow.  just need more time with it!
