• A compound bow is the type of bow that allows powerful and
accurate shots. It is made of rigid limbs and a pulley system.
The latter one allows the archer to turn them when dragging
back on the string. A traditional bow and used among tribal
groups is a self bow. Self bows are carved out from one piece
of wood and are known for being the simplest type of bow.
The recurve bow is the type that allows storing of more
energy. The bow’s tips curve away from the archer. It is mostly
used for horseback because it is the easiest to handle.
Crossbows are used as war weapon by tradition. The bow is
set and projectile arrows are released after pulling the trigger.
In modern time these are used for target practice and are still
used for hunting purposes. The last type to be discussed is the
flat bows. This type is usually used in Europe and in the
United States. A flat bow’s limbs appear wider at front view
but narrower at side view. A flat bow is invented to have the
best cross-sectional cut among all types of youth bows.
• The arrow is used in archery to determine the distance,
accuracy and strength of the shot. Length and weight are
equally important in an arrow. Other archery equipment
needed is a quiver and an arrow rest. The quiver holds the
arrow in place while the arrow rest enables arrows to fly
consistently.
