There are so many kind of bows out there it would be hard to find every kind of bow type but in my opinion it doesn’t matter what the price is its how it performs OK so basically a bow could cost a thousand dollars and is made out of “top quality material”  but it could have a let’s say 35 pound pull weight but on the other hand there’s a two hundred dollar bow hand made out of birch wood with a horn belly its might have a 50 pound pull weight basically what I’m saying is that its not what the tag says its what the performance says so lets talk about bows, bows where used in almost every country’s culture at on time or another japan china America you get the point so each of these country’s had a different overview of the best bow design but an individuals favorite one is off his/hers opinion my personal favorite is the Mongolian composite bows so these pieces of art had a long build time but unlike most bows instead of stringing the bow the way it naturally bends but the Mongolians where smart enough to actually bend the bow the oposite  direction of where it actually is and string it there for maximum power if i didn’t explain thoroughly enough here is a few pics:

OK so i admit i don’t usually explain things very well but these pics tell it all but what i like most about the Mongolians is there draw how it works is that it uses the thumb the strongest forefinger on the hand to pull the bowstring how it starts is that the arrow is nocked but it is grabbed by one the fingers on the bowhand  to keep it in place then the thumb is placed under the arrow not touching it and is put into a place to where it basically holds the bowstring then the fingers loop around the string and are placed on the knuckle side of the thumb to aid the thumb in drawing and the rest of the fingers will usually fall into a comfortable place where usually its in a position where they look like they are holding an egg sometimes they also use bow rings where an iron ring is on the hand and an iron piece comes out to cover the thumb pad

other types of bows are good too but the one i like the least is the compound bow ugh it makes me so mad is not the pull strength but the way its built because its uses pulley the draw it i don’t like this because if one pulley messes up its all over you have spend the time to either replace the cord untangle it or put it back on i don’t know i just don’t like them and the draw is just kind of lazy i mean they use some kind of ring to hold the string and a trigger releases it no don’t like it one bit
