Reflex bow
A reflex bow is a bow often made entirely of wood that has curved or curled arms that turn away from the archer. When strung and subsequently fired the curves assist in creating a greater force with which to fire an arrow at a faster speed without adding significantly to the drawing weight, size or the physical mass of the bow.
