Preamble

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.

(Note that this bow is very similar to the composite recurve bow, however is less complex (taking almost half the time of a recurve bow), and presumably of less strength.)

Construction

Days needed: 5
Raw materials needed: 400g of wood
Objects: bowstring (1)
Tools needed: knife, bone knife or bronze knife
