It depends on the type of bow. Many recurve bows are made of fiberglass, wood, and other primitive materials. Compound bows are usually made of steel, aluminum, and other metals. The string is made of different materials as well. Cable, sinew, linen, etc. are all types of material used to create bow strings. More primitive and tribal bows may use intestines or woven hair.

Bows can be made of many types of materials, including (in no particular order):

  • wood
  • steel
  • fiber-glass
  • aluminum
  • titanium
  • carbon-fiber
  • horn (as in buffalo and ibex)
There are probably other materials which can be used to make a bow for Archery as well. Bows can be made of one material only (as for a self-bow), or as a composite by using two or more types of materials (as for composite and laminated bows).
