Old And New, Korean StyleThomas Duvernay's website on Traditional Korean Archery (Goong Do) has always been interesting, and I thought I'd put it up here again for others that haven't been exposed to this little-discussed field. The horsebow still reigns supreme in Korea, which has an unbroken tradition of archery going back at least 2,000 years. I highly recommend Thomas' videos, and his new book is excellent, which should be read in conjunction with Stephen Selby's books on Asian and Chinese archery.http://www.koreanarchery.org/ Among many other things, I love the pics of fire and rocket arrows. These were especially effective in naval engagements, and even fired from special cannon. They make Greek Fire look tame in comparison. http://www.koreanarchery.org/fire.html |

Very interesting. I'll have to study that top link. I have a lot of respect for traditional Asian archery. |
