The difference between a straight bow and recurve bow.

Straight bow and recurve bow are two different types of bows and arrows, which are obviously different in many aspects.

First of all, from the appearance, the straight bow is usually shorter, while recurve bow's bow is obviously longer. This difference makes recurve bow more flexible and can better absorb the vibration during shooting, thus reducing the shaking of the arrow and improving the accuracy of shooting.

Secondly, there are some differences in usage between the straight bow and recurve bow. When using a straight bow, the shooter needs to put the arrow in the middle of the bow or near the tip of the bow and shoot it by pulling the string. Recurve bow is different. The shooter needs to put the arrow near the bow and shoot it by pulling the string back. This difference makes recurve bow have greater pulling force, which can better control the flight trajectory of the arrow and improve the shooting stability.

In addition, the range of the straight bow and recurve bow is also somewhat different. Because recurve bow has better elasticity and tension, its range is usually longer than that of a straight bow. In shooting competitions, recurve bow is usually regarded as a higher-level bow and arrow type, because it can better control the flight trajectory of the arrow, thus improving the shooting accuracy.

In a word, there are obvious differences between the straight bow and recurve bow in appearance, usage and range. These differences make them have different applicability in different occasions and situations. It is very important for a shooter to choose the type of bow and arrow that suits him, because it directly affects the shooting effect and performance.
