Recurve bows

A recurve bow is a type of bow where the tips curve outward away from the archer when unstrung, storing more energy for a powerful shot. This design allows for a more efficient transfer of energy to the arrow, resulting in increased speed and accuracy. Recurve bows are often used in both traditional archery and Olympic competitions due to their balance of power, portability, and ease of handling. Their distinctive shape enables a shorter, more maneuverable bow without sacrificing performance, making them suitable for various shooting styles and environments.
