Archery Bow Guide | By Ronnie

 

Traditional Archery Bow 

A one-piece archery bow made out of wood, supplied in youths and adult versions. Shot with wooden archery arrows. Ideal for people wanting to try out archery in it’s most basic form.

Recurve Archery Bow 

These archery bows are normally in take-down form, consisting of a handle and two limbs. They come in a variety of sizes and draw weights to suit archers of all ages and abilities. Most archery beginners courses will use wooden handle recurve archery bows, and at the other end of the scale it is the archery bow used in the Olympics, complete with sophisticated sights and stabilisation.

Compound Archery Bow 

Introduced by the hunting fraternity in the states, the compound archery bow is growing in popularity throughout the world. It utilises cams at the limb ends and cables to minimise the holding weight at full draw, which enables much heavier bows to be shot with accuracy and consistency. This type of archery bow is normally shot with a release aid, and will comprise peep sights on the string and a sighting scope.
