First Bow Ever!
n beginning all bows were longbows. This is standard longbow, and it is clear that string is completely free from touching the bow from the nock to nock. As you pull it draw curve is pretty straight from the start without suprizes. When it is pulled string have same length from points where it touch the bow as in relaxed bow. -
next generation............
Static recurves are next step up from the longbows. They have levers on the end of the limbs, and string is attached on the end of the levers. So working parts of the limbs are shorter storing greater power, and nocks are pulled in front, like in very deflexed bow. Because of that pull weight is greater from the start. -
