CATEGORIES OF BOW - RECURVE

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.

CATEGORIES OF BOW - COMPOUND

Compound Bow

In the tournament, compound are very famous where it is quite easy to learn and it giving a great accuracy compare to recurve bow. Compound bow using the leveraging system to increase the arrow speed to enable the arrow to be shoot in a more accurate and constant way. 

  

Compound Bow Part Description:

The compound has a more complex part which it require a tuning on it mechanical cam to give the most accurate and constant shoot.

The compound need use the release aid in the process of pulling and release arrows, there four type of mainly used release aid for compound, which are:

Wrist

Archery release aids designed for the wrist are very popular with bow hunters. These aids attach to your wrist with a strap and are held there by a rod or a rope. You normally use your index finger to trigger the release mechanism of these archery release aids. One of the benefits of the wrist design is that all of the weight is supported by the wrist, so you are able to keep your hands and fingers relaxed. This way, there is a reduced chance of extra tension in the shot.

Hand-held

Hand-held archery release aids are popular with tournament and target archers. These aids vary widely in design. Some use calipers to attach to the bowstring, while others use a rope loop. Hand-held archery release aids are usually triggered by using back-tension, the thumb, or your little finger.

Back-tension

One of the final types of archery release aids is the back-tension design. Back-tension aids do not have a trigger. Instead, the release is triggered by the rotation of the aid in your hand or by slightly relaxing your drawing hand after pulling back. These archery release aids are not ideal for beginners as they have a steep learning curve and require experience with other types of aids.

These are some of the types of archery release aids available. Bow hunters usually prefer designs for the wrist, while tournament shooters prefer hand-held designs. Automatic archery release aids are very helpful, but are not popular because of their expensive price. If you are experienced with other types of release aids, you may want to experiment with the back-tension design.
