Q:
This is going to sound a little strange, but would I be able to carve a small symbol in this bow?

On the riser, but I wouldn't carve on the limbs

A:
Being a woodworker for 30 years I would not recommend it .The bow is laminated with thin plies of wood and fiberglass backed. Cutting into the fiberglass or wood plies will weaken the bow.Perhaps acrylic paint and a clear coat over it can do the job for you ?

A:
As long as you do not remove material from the working part of the limb you should be ok. The riser on this bow is rather small, so I would not recommend taking too much material off of it either.

A:
The material of the arrows is going to be more personal preference than anything else. We can help you narrow down the spine you will need, but we will need to know the weight of the bow and your draw length first.

I personally think it wouldn't be a good choice for a first traditional bow, it's not really very robust, pretty delicate in fact.
For a first traditional bow, longbow or recurve, I'd stick with the trusted brands, Martin, Bear, etc. Hope this helps!

This bow would work fine for a beginner. the biggest thing to remember will be to get a weight that will not be too much right away.

Yes, this bow would be fine for a beginner. Just make sure to get a weight that will be easy to shoot. The worst thing you can do is to start with a bow that is too heavy.

The only bows in the world I know of that are better than the Kahn are custom made japanese yumi's. Yes I would and do recommend this bow to any and everyone. It super light, all but indestructible and pound for pound the fastest bow in the world. If you get highr than 45lbs insure you have a good thick arm gaurd. As is it is very quiet. If you put any silencers on and leather or super pad in the shelf it will be dead silent.

A:
Yes you can use a thumb ring and thumb glove on this bow.
Answered on 1/22/2013 by Art from 3Rivers Archery
A:
Yes, but you would then want to order it for the opposite hand you would
normally shoot with. I.E. if you order a "right handed" bow, you will get
one with the cutout on the left (consistent with Mediterranean archery)
Shooting with a thumb ring requires the arrow to be on the other side of
the bow.

Although the Kahn bow has been somewhat Americanized with a shelf for your arrow and its poundage rated @ 28" instead of 30" , it is still a very traditional Korean bow and I can see no reason why it could not be shot with a thumb ring . I do shoot it English style with 3 fingers and have good results .Its a very fun little bow and amazing in how well it performs .

You should be able to, that's how I plan on shooting once my arrows come
in. In order to do so you'll need to buy the opposite handed bow. If
you're right handed, get the left handed bow.

Q:
I am new to this..when you ask right handed or left are you asking which hand the bow will be held in?

A:
You are shooting right handed if you're holding the bow in your left hand and vice versa
Answered on 1/10/2013 by Anonymous
A:
The dexterity of the bow refers to the hand that will be used to draw the string.
Answered on 1/10/2013 by Justin from 3Rivers Archery
A:
Newbie,
When referring to what hand a bow is for a person, it is referring to the
hand that you would use to pull back the string and arrow to shoot it. So,
if you are a right handed person you would hold the bow in your left hand
but you would use your right hand to draw back the arrow and string to
shoot, thus, you would require a right handed bow.

Q:
what is the length of the string used for this bow?

A:
Just recieved my Kahn, and the string goes about like this.
about 46.5 inches, with serving starting 24 inches from one of the ends
going for four inches. the nocking point is about 26 inches from the same
end. or 2.5inches from the middle, the bow uses a higher nocking point
than is normal. the loops at the end are about 4 inches long.
hope that helps!
Answered on 1/8/2013 by Anonymous
A:
Miggy,
It depends on the length of the bow minus four inches.....usually. So if
the Khan is 52 inches, then the string will be 48 inches. Good luck.

Is this bow based on the indo persian and mongol style? Does it shoot like a mongol bow?

A:
This is based on an Asiatic Composite bow. The design has been modified a little to add some Western touches. For the most part it will shoot like its Asian counter parts, just with more stack past 28" or 29".

Q:
Although stacking starts at 29", will drawing further harm the bow? What is a reasonable maximum draw before it becomes dangerous to the bow?

A:
Yes, drawing it back further can cause damage. Especially if it happens on a repetitive basis. If you have a draw length longer than 28" I do not recommend this bow.

A:
I usually have a 30" draw and I had no confidence when I tried to pull it that far. (Like the catalogue says)
