Bows
A bow is a weapon that uses a curved piece of flexible material, like wood or fiberglass, called a limbs, connected by a string. When the string is pulled back (drawn), it stores potential energy. Releasing the string propels an arrow forward with force and speed. Bows have been used historically for hunting and warfare, and today they are also popular in sport and recreation. The design varies based on purpose, with different forms like recurve, compound, and longbows, each offering unique advantages in accuracy, power, and ease of use.
