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.
Now all I have to do is decide if I want a longbow or a recurve. To decide, I need to review the differences and the advantages of each bow. A long bow is a forgiving bow. Its main difference from a recurve is its shape. A long bow is the traditional half-moon shape with a straight grip.It is thin in width, but thicker in depth from a recurve. Because of this thickness, it is harder to torque the limbs when pulling the string for archers with poor form.fter reviewing, the best traditional bow for me would be the recurve. My form is generally good, so I donât tend to torque my strings or my limbs, and I like the shorter length and faster arrows especially after using compound bows for most of my life.
