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 horseback.[1] They were noted for their relative ease of use from even the most unskilled archer.[2]
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.[2]
