| A '''recurve bow''' is a [[bow]] with limbs that curve away from the wielder. These bows have been common throughout the history at least ever since the 5th century BCE, when they were widely found and used in [[Greece]].

| ==Description==
| |
| The design of a recurve bow has the limbs stretch away from the wielder when unstrung. Compared to straight-limbed bows, recurve bows can hold and deliver more power to an arrow when released. They provide the most advantage when used from [[horse]]back.<ref name="WP">{{WP|Recurve bow}}</ref> They were noted for their relative ease of use from even the most unskilled [[archer]].<ref name="ACOd" /> | |
| | |
| Recurve bows in 5th century BCE Greece were mostly made of wood with ornamental decoration. The quality of such bows ranged from common to the epic, and could be found in most [[blacksmith]]'s shops.<ref name="ACOd" /> By the 1st century BCE, in [[Egypt]], recurve bows had become scarce. Made with a mixture of animal and plant products, they were said to harness the power of nature.<ref name="ACO">''[[Assassin's Creed: Origins]]''</ref>

| ==History==
| |
| A variant of the bow was made available to the [[Sparta]]n ''[[Mercenary|misthios]]'' [[Kassandra]] via an [[Animus]] [[Animus mod|modification]] by the [[Assassins|Assassin]] [[Layla Hassan]] as she relived the mercenary's [[Genetic memory|memories]].<ref name="ACOd">''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]''</ref> Similarly, a [[light bow]] variant of the bow was made available to the [[Medjay]] [[Bayek]] of [[Siwa]].<ref name="ACO"/>

| ==Behind the scenes==
| |
| The commonly found Recurve Bow, a weapon in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]'', shares the same model as a number of other similar weapons in the same game, including the bows of [[Bow of Dumontos|Dumontos]], [[Bow of the Muses|the Muses]], and [[Bow of the Stalker|the Stalker]], as well as the [[Oaken Bow of Chambers]], [[Natakas' Hunting Bow]], and the [[Heirloom Bow]]. These are all the recycled model of [[Griffin (bow)|Griffin]], a weapon in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Origins]]''.
| |
| | |
| In ''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'', two different weapons are named 'Recurve Bow'. One of them is commonly found throughout the game, while the other is a unique Store-item.
