the korean bows are o.k. but they dont hold up well at all...sometimes you get bad wood/finishin the risers and the riser will warp over time under harsh weather conditions. also the limb pockets on the takedowns are a huge problem on cheaper bows(most are poorly designed)...these bows are great for knockarounds but if you plan on falling in love with trad equipment(most do that switch from compounds) get somthing that is of better quality...it will save you more in the long run.
