Recurve Bows

Recurve Bows are a traditional bow shape designed for use in rough environments, like forest or heavy brush, or while mounted, when a longer bow type like the longbow would needlessly encumber the archer. Developed for rapid deployment, the recurve bow has tips that literally curve in the opposite direction of the archer’s body. This design allows the recurve bow to handle and translate more energy than an equivalently sized straight bow. Additionally, recurve archers enjoy dealing with a shorter length bow when desiring specific arrow energy. Recurve bows endure a greater amount of strain on the materials used to make the bow, thus necessitating a great deal of professional attention when being made.

As with any custom product, prices vary depending on the customization selections made by the purchaser. Prices listed below are based upon common selections. All new bows come with string and bow sock (Buyers Choice based upon availability).
