Recurve bow[edit]

This is the only bow allowed in olympics.it is the most advanced version of long bow. Archers opting for this bow needs to practise on basic bow for around 1 year. Recurve bow doest need anyking of releaser ,only it needs a fingertab (used to protect fingers from string injury). Though is is not as advanced as compound bow

Crossbows[edit]

Are we considering crossbow use to be archery? I have sources that say it is https://archershub.com/what-is-crossbow-archery/ but I'm open to other input. DJ Clayworth (talk) 19:44, 14 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I propose that to distinguish this from History of Archery, and prevent mere repetation, the historical section focusses on capabilities and use of historical bows, rather than on dates. For example, divide it by type of bow rather than historical period.DJ Clayworth (talk) 18:34, 29 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
