Traditional bows are simple archery tools made from a flexible material, typically wood, that is bent into a curved shape. They use a string to launch arrows, relying on the tension created when the bow is drawn back. These bows have been used for thousands of years in various cultures for hunting and warfare. There are different types of traditional bows, including the longbow, recurve bow, and composite bow. Each type has unique characteristics and advantages, such as range and power. Traditional bows are often appreciated for their craftsmanship and connection to historical archery practices.
