射道 Shè Dào - Archery Path
When the bow is drawn, the curves create greater force, allowing an arrow to be shot at a higher speed without adding significant weight or size.
This bow's unique shape subjects it to higher stress, and the materials used to construct it must be of high quality.
When not bent, the entire bow curves forward, and the center moves away from the archer, forming an inverted "C"; this distinguishes a reflex bow from a recurve bow.
This type of bow has been widely used by the nomadic tribes of Central Asia, especially the Parthians, Mongols, Turks, and Magyars, until the introduction of firearms.
