Um, sorry, but I don't believe any bow can shoot one full kilometer out and be anything other than luck. Cite your source please.
Image Used to Prove Range of 1073 Meters
[edit]I am not trying to accuse the credibility of the picture given. However, the picture is not good enough proof to prove that the Korean bow has a possible range of 1073 meters. All the picture shows ia a Korean archer drawing back his bow. I will admit that the bow is a recurved bow and the draw length is amazing. However, this does not SHOW a range of 1073 meters. If possible, I along with others who would truly like to be shown proof of a bow firing an arrow over 1000 meters (heck - over 400 meter is good in my book), would appreciate a better picture. If possible, a link to a video that shows the uninterrupted flight of the arrow.BNgo 19:59, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
I've removed the claim. Richard Keatinge 14:51, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
The best bow in the world is the Mongol composite recurve bow, and that has a maximum accuracy range of 500-600 meters. Intranetusa 01:06, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
Removed Firearrows
[edit]Firearrows are a gunpowder weapon and has nothing to do with bows. I've removed the picture of the firearrows. Intranetusa 01:06, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
Gak gung used in Goryeo period?
[edit]Could we have some reference for this claim, please? I'd really like to know! Richard Keatinge 12:35, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
