Recurve Bows


A recurve is a type of stick bow that has both of its ends curved away from the shooter. Recurve limbs can provide more power in a shorter bow than the long bow. Recurves are smooth and quiet shooting bows, making them a popular choice. As with the long bow, draw weight increases with the distance the string is pulled.
