A flatbow is a type of bow characterized by its wide, flat limbs. Unlike traditional rounded bows, the flatbow's design allows for a more efficient transfer of energy, resulting in greater arrow speed and accuracy. Flatbows can be made from various materials, including wood, fiberglass, or composite materials, and they are often favored for their simplicity and ease of construction. Flatbows have been used by various cultures throughout history, including the Native Americans and European archers. They are popular among modern archers for target shooting and hunting due to their performance and ease of use. The flatbow's design also contributes to a smoother draw, making it accessible for beginners and experienced archers alike.
