− | ==Description and uses==
| |
− | The [[composite recurve bow]], sometimes abbreviated as a '''CRB''', is the most powerful weapon in Cantr without metal parts. However, it is quite complex in construction.
| |
− |
| |
− | Part of its popularity in Cantr stems from its earlier existence as the "war bow," a simple but effective weapon made from [[iron]] and [[wood]].
| |
− |
| |
− | ==Real-life context==
| |
− | A recurve bow is one where the bow doubles back on itself, and thus the bowstring touches the bow. This results in more springiness and a faster/stronger arrow flight.
| |
− |
| |
− | "Composite" indicates that the bow is made of several materials (in the past, sometimes animal cartilage), further adding to the springiness of the bow.
| |
− |
| |
− | So, in-game, this bow is manufactured of multiple materials, and is of a recurve design.
