Recurve bow
A recurve bow is a bow that, in contrast to the simple longbow, has tips that curve away from the archer when the bow is held in the shooting position. The technical difference between a recurve and other bows is that when strung, the string touches the limbs of a recurve bow, and only touches the tips of other types.
