RECURVE BOW
In the tournament that I've joined before, I've been introduce the two type of bows. And for the current article I will focus on the Recurve bow. For me, I'm a Recurve Bow Archer, where the bow seem like an ordinary bow but nowadays the bow had been enhance in giving a more accurate shooting result which the look are a bit different from the old one.
The various part of Recurve Bow
Bow Part Description:
- Arrow rest - Where the arrow rests during draw. These may be simple fixed rests or may be spring-loaded or magnetic flip rests.
- Back (of bow) - The face of the bow on the opposite side to the string
- Belly (of bow) - The face of the bow on the same side as the string
- Bow sight - An aiming aid attached to the riser
- Brace height - The distance between the deepest part of the grip and the string; fistmele is the traditional term, referring to the equivalent length of a closed fist with the thumb extended, indicating the proper traditional distance used between the deepest part of the grip and the string.
- Grip - The part of the bow held by the bow hand
- Limbs - The upper and lower working parts of the bow, which come in a variety of different poundages
- Nocking point - The place on the bowstring where the nock (end) of an arrow is fitted
- Riser - The rigid centre section of a bow to which the limbs are attached
- String - The cord that attaches to both limb tips and transforms stored energy from the limbs into kinetic energy in the arrow
- Sling -A strap or cord attached to the bow handle, wrist or fingers to prevent the bow from falling from the hand
- Tab or Thumb ring - A protection for the digits that draw the string. Also provides better release performance. Usually made of leather.
- Tiller - The difference between the limb-string distances measured where the limbs are attached to the riser. Usually the upper distance is slightly more than the bottom one, resulting in a positive tiller. Reflects the power-balance between both limbs.
