recurve bow
A recurve bow is a bow with limbs that curve away from the archer when unstrung. A recurve bow stores more energy and delivers energy more efficiently than the equivalent straight-limbed bow, giving a greater amount of energy and speed to the arrow. A recurve will permit a shorter bow than the simple straight limb bow for a given arrow energy and this form was often preferred by archers in environments where long weapons could be cumbersome, such as in brush and forest terrain, or while on horseback.
Recurved limbs also put greater stress on the materials used to make the bow, and they may make more noise with the shot. Extreme recurves make the bow unstable when being strung. An unstrung recurve bow can have a confusing shape and many Native American weapons, when separated from their original owners and cultures, were incorrectly strung backwards and destroyed when attempts were made to shoot them.

So I inherited this bow from my FIL. I shot it with him once in the backyard, but admittedly know nothing about it or bows in general. Unfortunately, I dont see myself ever doing anything with it. I try to keep a pretty minimal lifestyle... I use what I have and don't see a point in keeping...

This bow was my mother’s and was purchased sometime in the later 1960s. It was barely used and is in excellent condition. It also comes with its 1960s sleeve. This bow and sleeve would be a great addition to a vintage bow collection.

A few years ago, my wife and I went to a bow class and she loved it. Then we had a kid and, well, you know. So, I'm looking for a recurve bow for her to get started in this again.
She's 5 foot - nothing and wingspans somewhere around 4'8 to 4'10.
Let me know what you got and what you want for...
