Long and Recurve Traditional Bows at Academy
Traditional bows are the kind you think of when you think of Robin Hood, a bow and arrow with no fancy wheels or cables. They can be used for hunting and target shooting purposes. There are two main types of traditional bows: longbows and recurve bows.
Longbows have a straight grip and a half-moon shape, while recurve bows resemble the number 3.
Because of their unique shape, recurve bows typically shoot faster and with more power than a longbow.
Longbows and recurve bows are straightforward, simple, and reliable:
They don’t require many accessories like compound bows and don’t need as much maintenance. However, they are harder to operate because they depend on your muscle strength to bring the arrow back and release it.
They take practice to become accurate and consistent, but they also offer an exhilarating and exciting way to shoot.
Academy offers a selection of traditional bows from top brands like Bear Archery and CenterPoint and in various price ranges so anyone looking to try out a traditional bow can find one. You can also filter the bows by handedness and age range to narrow your decision down even more!
