Default RE: Are modern recurves really traditional?

Take a gander at these old bows. What most people think of as 'traditional' these days is a myth. It's an over-glorified, exceedingly idealized fanatasy. Nothing wrong with that, but it's not a historically accurate picture of how archery really was before compounds. How many of you guys thought split limbs on compounds was a new idea?




By the way, the pics came from www.archeryhistory.com
