![]() Easy stuff to understand, right? Here’s how the different parts work. Here is a short little video where Hazen and Rob practice shooting with both types of bows.Ī bow is essentially a two-armed spring that stores mechanical “potential energy” when the string is drawn and pulls back the limbs. The differences in how these three types of bows store and release energy in shooting an arrow present interesting series of questions for us to explore and answer in our quest to understand “which bow is best”. And understanding all that is the key to understanding why a superhero, or you for that matter, would select a certain type of bow to use in different types of archery. That’s a function of their design and the physics of how the bow shoots an arrow as they relate to our human anatomy. So how does Hollywood or the superhero choose which bow is right for their super adventure? Each bow has its own combination of advantages and limitations. Today’s superheroes in the movies equip themselves for their super adventures using one of these three styles of bows. Note: All three types of bows have also been adapted into crossbows with shorter horizontal versions equipped with a gun style stock and trigger mechanism.
