Alpha is often used in physics and chemistry as a symbol or in the names of things, for example alpha particles (which are two protons and two neutrons bound together into a particle the same as a helium nucleus). The symbol is also used a lot in mathematics in algebra, for example naming angles.
Recurve bow. A recurve bow is a bow with limbs that curve away from the archer when unstrung. A recurve bow stores more energy and delivers energy more efficiently than the equivalent straight-limbed bow, giving a greater amount of energy and speed to the arrow.
A recurve bow is akin to driving a classic car. It takes you back to the good ole days of manual everything. A compound can be smaller because the metal limbs develop more energy to transfer in a smaller length and width. Also compound bows have a let off point where the draw weight can be reduced by 65%.A recurve bow with a draw weight of 60 lbs will have that continuously requiring you to aim and fire much faster than a recurve where you are only holding 20 lbs or so, allowing for a much more careful aim.BaltTigger Â· 7 years ago. recurve bow is akin to driving a classic car.
