What Is An Archery Recurve Bow

In 1953, Bear Archery invented recurve bows. An archery recurve bow is a bow with edges that curve outwards. In a standard longbow, the bow forms an arch, that when held by the archer, extends away from the body with the edges curving inwards. A recurve bow has tips that curve away from the archer when the bow is held in the shooting position allowing for more drawing leverage for the strings. However this requires greater force to hold the bow and string. Mastery of the recurve bow results in better muscle tone and overall archery skills.
