Bows -> Flat Bows

Broad flattened limbs and high narrow center section distinguishes this type of bow. The energy load is equally distributed in the wide surface (contrary to the English longbow), This is the reason this bow type can be built shorter. A good target bow is left somewhat static from the grip and prepared then very softly to the bow end.
Also different limb cross sections support this soft draw and takes at the same time still mass from the limbs.

( I) Steamed bow end ( recurve) affect likewise supporting the firing speed.

(II) Narrow, high straight bow end result in a likewise sharper firing.

At the same time by the processed wood mass , the vibration in the bow is minimized ( Arm shock ). Probably the best wood for a flat bow is Osage orange, a very tough firm bow wood. Yew with a Bamboo backing is very well for short flat bows, with highest firing comfort.

As Grip piece I recommend hardwoods such as Osage, Hickory, or Plum, this can also be combined and/ or Selected as wood decorations in the bow.
