archery bow
Quiver's curved partner
An archery bow is a weapon that launches arrows by storing energy in a flexed limb and releasing it to propel the projectile.
The term distinguishes this type of bow from decorative bows, bow ties, or the bow of a ship.
Archery bows range from simple wooden longbows to modern compound bows with pulleys and cables: She bought her first archery bow at a sporting goods store.
