I think the Princess has the right bow. Cheers Roadie. 
Re: different divisions ?
If the bows are selfbows they are definitely "trad", yew recurve bows were in vogue in Europe over 3000 years ago.wishsong wrote:do these ladies have to shoot in different divisions ?looks like one ain't "trad" and sneaking in a recurve .......

"And you must not stick for a groat or twelvepence more than another man would give, if it be a good bow.

It's not a recurve it's a deflex/reflex longbow.......

i can't see any problems concerning curves in that pic. they all seem to be curved in the right places.
The degree of satisfaction gained from the accomplishment of a goal is directly proportional to the hardships and challenges overcome in order to achieve it.

Re: different divisions ?
Looks like both have little to no string on the belly - there-for I'd call it a deflex-reflex.
For me a recurve is a deflex-reflex design with the string laying along the belly.
Both are equally trade IMO....

Re: different divisions ?
I'll play. Yes they are Trad bows!!!
Can never know if the artist has drawn this with accuracy or not but I can see a couple of unusual things.
Firstly the two bows being shot are drawn as reflex/deflex in design and not deflex/reflex as some say above. The limbs reflex from the handle area. They appear to be semi-recurves. The bow that the other woman is holding has straight limbs.
None of the bows appear to be long either.

The wearing of dresses [for the ladies] may add some 'class' to the event.Scrub Bull wrote:Look Sue you can wear a dress and still shoot arrows.

Daryl all the men must be at the bar drinking rum. Observation/ the lady in the dark dress centre has her arrows tucked in her rear bun while the other two centre Ladies are both wearing back quivers very interesting.
