The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.

- A recurve will permit a shorter bow than the simple straight limb bow for a given arrow energy, and this form was often preferred by archers in environments where long weapons could be cumbersome, such as in brush and forest terrain, or while on horseback.
- Recurved limbs also put greater stress on the materials used to make the bow, and they may make more noise with the shot.
