Stupid TV! Be more funny!
The blue bow is a kid's all glass longbow and you can buy them, or the equivalent, almost anywhere.
The centre bow looks like an old deflex/reflex longbow.
The recurve is an old one piece target recurve.
The alloy arrows are old: they are bare metal.
If you found this equipment in a garage sale you might pay $50 for the lot on the off chance that the recurve is a collectible.

Buford,
All three bows are most definately recurves.
The first one is a kids solid glass bow as Gilnockie has said. The recurve tips would be static as they don't unfold when drawn.
The second is not a longbow either but what was/is called a "semi-recurve". I believe that it is also solid fibreglass in that caramel colour with a solid black plastic handle.
The third is a working recurve - the recurve unfolds when drawn. Note that the limbs are straight and then recurve at the tips. Most recurves today deflex first before recurving. This one I believe is also a Ben Pearson bow as the company did produce a model called a 'Pinto'. I actually have an old Ben Pearson recurve of similar design.
I couldn't say if any of the bows or arrows are collectable. Interesting broadheads on some of the arrows though. The cresting on some of those wood arrows reminds me of the type of cresting Kev Whiting used to put on arrows he made for people.
Very interesting Matt.
