Barebows

This week I will be telling you all about the Barebow.  While the Recurve and Compounds have sights and stability systems, Barebow shooters aren't allowed to have accessories.  Barebow means bare with no attachments, It's the kind of bow you think Indians use, and the one where people say, "archery is easy its a stick and a string." 

The old fashion bow, a stick and a string, now people use it for traditional shooting.  But you can still use a Barebow in a competitions.  The bow has to fit between a 12" ring unstrung (without the string).  Why the 12" ring, well if u put the accessory that stabilizes the bow it can only be 5" or the bow is considered Recurve. If u have a sight marking anywhere on the bow then it is also considered Recurve.  If you want to shoot traditionally this is the bow for you. 

P.S. Archery is not as easy as it looks.
