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.)
