Koreans have been shooting bows and arrows for millennia, in war, hunting, and for recreation and competition. Koreans are well-known in the world as champion archers. Once reserved for the rich and elite of Korea, Korean traditional archery is now enjoyed by men, women, and youth from all backgrounds. With great concentration, they practice daily to improve their skills to send an arrow 145 meters down range to hit their target. If that sounds like a challenge you wish to try, this book will help you to understand the basics about becoming a traditional archer in the Korean style. It is a practical guide, so the information is concise; you will learn about the different types of bows, arrows, thumb rings, and how to use them. You can learn about stance, draw, and release, and also understand the rules, etiquette, and terminology.
