ABSTRACT:
A bow having a rigid handle section and a pair of resiliently and flexibly recurved limb sections, with limb tip nocks and bowstring.
The bow has self-holding, cock position of higher brace for the retention of potential energy. The bow is selectively releasable from such cock position to another position of lower brace for the delivery of such potential energy.
The limb may have a slot in the direction of string travel for the free passage of the bowstring therethrough.
The bowstring includes a bowstring length related to limb characteristic and where applicable also includes a design to provide such free and direct path by a bifurcation or a division of the string, spaced by an enlargement of the limb nocking sections for passage of the string portions on either side of the limbs, such space being maintained for a sufficient distance by a yoke means adjacent to a central arrow nocking section wherein the string portions are undivided.
