/* Recurve Bow */
The following lines were added (+) and removed (-):
{| border=0|- ||Most recurve bows are five to six feet in length.  Some are designed to come apart into pieces for travel and storage, they are referred to as a “takedown” bow.To ensure potential energy is stored evenly within the limbs during the draw, the modern recurve bow tips point to the target when unstrung, and parallel to the bowstring when strung.  The bow handle (riser) will have a cut out on one side where the arrow rests.  This is one way to distinguish a modern recurve bow from a longbow.  The longbow has no such rest for the arrow.|}
