Best Answer

Modern recurve target/hunting bows are normally either laminated from wood and glassfibre, or, in the case of "Takedown" bows, (Bows with easily detachable limbs), either a wood or alloy handle, and wood/glassfibre laminated limbs. High-performance bows are now often carbon fibre rather than glassfibre. Historically, recurve bows have been made from virtually any locally-available materials, including laminated animal sinew, animal horn, wood, and anything else which will serve the purpose. Making a bow from these materials was a highly skilled craft, if not an art, and beautiful examples still exist to demonstrate the skill of these ancient craftsmen.

What string do you need to make an archery?

To shoot a bow and arrow you take the notch of your arrow and put it on the bow string. Then you grab the handle with your weaker arm of the bow and grab the string with the other hand. Hold the arrow between your middle finger and pointer finger. Then you rest the arrow on your hand or handle of the bow. You pull the sting back using only your three middle fingers. Then aim and release the string. That's all to it!

How do you play the sport of the bow and arrow?

The sport with the bow and arrow is called archery, just to let you know. First, you grab a arrow and grab the string of the bow, which is the curved rod with the string. Then put the arrow in a sideways position right attached to the string of the bow. Pull the arrow back, allowing the string to move over to your position. Then, aim carefully. Next, you release the arrow with the string. The arrow will move faster depending how far you pull the string towards you. The objective is to hit the target. There are different spots that are worth different points on the target. If you hit the middle of the target with your arrow, you will receive the maximum amount of points possible. Keep repeating this process until you are a pro at archery.:).
