What type of bow has limbs that curve away from the belly?
The type of bow that has limbs that curve away from the belly is known as a recurve bow. This design allows for increased power and efficiency, as the curved limbs store more energy when drawn.

What is the recurve bow definition and how does it differ from other types of bows?
A recurve bow is a type of bow with limbs that curve away from the archer when unstrung, which gives it more power and speed compared to traditional straight-limbed bows. This design allows the recurve bow to store and release more energy, making it more efficient and powerful than other types of bows.
What is the definition of a recurve bow?
Searching on wikipedia will give a more thorough answer than mine, but here are the basics... A recurve bow is a bow with limbs that curve away from the archer when unstrung, when it is strung, it keeps that distinctive curve and also gives more power in the draw when shot. Recurves were used especially by Mongolians and other horse-archers because their bows were short for portability and manouvering but were recurved to give them strength and tension when drawn for a powerful shot.

How does a recurve work?
if you are asking about a re-curve bow: When strung and held properly, the bow curves towards the holder then, at the top and bottom, the bow has a sharp bend away, towards the target. When unstrung, the bow is bent entirely towards the target, which leads many people to improperly string, and sometimes break re-curve bows. This design gives the bowstring more tension which in turn gives the arrow more force. Sorry if you were asking about something other than a re-curve bow.
Bow and arrow what is middle of bow called?

Can you provide a detailed breakdown of the components and features of a compound bow?
A compound bow consists of a riser, limbs, cams, strings, cables, and a grip. The riser is the central part where the limbs are attached. Limbs store and release energy when the bow is drawn. Cams control the draw weight and speed of the bow. Strings and cables transfer energy from the limbs to the arrow. The grip is where the archer holds the bow. Compound bows often have features like a sight, arrow rest, stabilizer, and peep sight to improve accuracy and performance.
