By definition, the difference between a recurve bow and other archery bows is that the string touches sections of the limbs of recurve bow when the bow is strung. The recurve has tips that curve away from the archer when the bow is unstrung. The second curve goes against the natural curve of the bow; thus, giving the bow greater energy. A recurve bow stores more energy than a straight bow of equivalent size, allowing the arrow to cast further. The traditional longbow is roughly equal to the height of a person who uses it. Longbows are not significantly recurved and have relatively narrow limbs. The recurve bow is easier to maneuver around in tight areas of the woods than a longbow. The recurve bow ranges in length of 48 to 70 inches, but it is recommended by some experts, not to be less than 58 inches.
