Bow Types used
DVA has a proud history of excelling and supporting many different bow styles. Here is a brief on the three major variations.
COMPOUND
The “modern” bow uses a cam pully system and trigger mechanism to help provide more speed with less physical
requirements.
Popular in 3D as well as target, field and hunting. Most popular bow used in professional competition.
OLYMPIC RECURVE
As the name suggests is used in the Olympic Games. Shot with fingers and sights the olympic recurve bow seems simple enough, however features incredibly advanced technology with carbon limbs and either carbon or machined risers.
Popular with target archers and also used in field competitions.
BAREBOW
A compound, recurve or Longbow without sights and shot with fingers. Can be shot with the most basic of equipment up to the most advanced.
Don’t let that fool you though, a barebow archer can mix it up with other styles
