bow
Definition
A bow is a curved piece of wood or other material used with a string to shoot arrows, typically in archery or hunting. This weapon consists of a flexible stave bent by a taut string, which stores energy when drawn back and releases it to propel an arrow forward. Bows have been used for thousands of years for hunting, warfare, and sport, and modern versions include recurve and compound bows for precision and power. In archery, the bow is held in one hand while the other hand draws the string, requiring strength and skill to aim accurately.
