Deflex bow
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A deflex bow is a bow that has arms curved or curled at the base or throughout their length, to turn towards the archer. This bow form reduces the strain on the limbs and also the energy stored by the weapon. It has been used occasionally, for example to make a bow that looks like a traditional hornbow without using any actual horn.
