Types Of Bows Used


There are different types of bows that are used including the longbow, shortbow, recurve bow, compound bow, and the very famous crossbow. Even the arrows are of different sizes and construction, and the use of different bow strings is also quite common. And, the archers themselves need to sometimes wear bracers or arm-guards so that they have protection to their bow arm as well as helps in preventing the bow string from being caught in the clothing of the archer.


Archers also use the drawing fingers which includes thumb and for protection the archer wears leather tab, or even gloves and maybe also a thumb ring, though the tab or glove are most common. In addition, it is also common for archers that use compound bows to take the help of release aids so that the strings are held without fluctuation and are released with precise accuracy. The release aid may be attached to bowstrings where the nocking point is so that the string can be released through a pull of a trigger, which may be in the form of a lever that is pushed by thumb or fingers though there are other mechanisms used as well.
