There are many types of bows nowaday. The most commonly used once can be classified into compound, recurve, and traditional bow. I personally shoot olympiad style take-down recurve bow. My bow composes of the following few parts:
|
1) Riser: Inno Carbon X-Lite 23" right-handed black riser According to Wikipedia, the riser (the center section of the bow) is generally separate and is constructed from wood, carbon, aluminium alloy or magnesium alloy. The term 'riser' is used because, in a one-piece bow, the centre section rises from the limbs in a taper to spread the stress. Several manufacturers produce risers made of carbon fibre (with metal fittings) or aluminum with carbon fibre. My riser is produced by WIN&WIN Archery from Korea, the Inno Carbon X-Lite 23" (short) right-handed black riser, which I purchased from Greatree Archery in CT, USA. It is a top quality riser that have impressive results in past worldwide archery tournament. |

My limbs are also produced by WIN&WIN Archery from Korea, the Winex Carbon-Foam 36# Long Limbs, which I purchased from Greatree Archery in CT, USA. It is a top quality limbs that have impressive results in past worldwide archery tournament. |
