Traditional & modern recurve bows

Recurvebow

The recurvebow is one of the most versatile and historical types of bows within the world of archery. This compact model is immediately recognizable by the prominently forward-curved ends of the limbs. Thanks to this shape, the bow stores extra energy upon release, resulting in a powerful and fast arrow without the need for a longer bow. This makes the recurvebow ideal for situations where speed and maneuverability are important – such as on horseback, during traditional archery competitions, or at modern ranges where flexibility counts.

Material and draw weight

Recurve bows are typically constructed from laminate structures of wood, fibreglass, and sometimes carbon. These materials provide a combination of durability, stability, and a smooth draw weight that feels comfortable for both beginners and experienced archers. Our recurve bows have a draw weight of max. 26 lbs, making them suitable for reenactment battles.

Because the bow is shorter than traditional longbows, it is easy to carry, draw, and handle in both recreational and historical contexts. Recurve bows are used worldwide in sports competitions, by traditional archers, mounted archers, and at living history events. The compact length, powerful performance, and classic appearance make this type of bow a favorite for anyone seeking a versatile bow that offers both speed and control. Whether you are training in technique, participating in competitions, or interested in historical shooting styles: a recurvebow offers a perfect balance between power, precision, and ease of carrying.
