Recurve Bows  Accessories The way that an arrow leaves a recurve bow means that it bends as it sets off with all the power pushing from the back end of the arrow to start with whilst the front end of the arrow has not started moving. Part of this bend is upwards and part is sideways. 

To allow for this 'Archers Paradox', Arrow Rests and Cushion Plunger Buttons are added to the bow handle to 'tune' the flight of the arrow from the bow and create consistency. The distance that he bow is drawn back is critical to the power the arrow receives, and so the draw length check or Clicker was invented. 

In addition the performance of the bow can be enhanced by the choice of Bowstring, which in turn can include a Kisser Button. There are a number of other items developed to add consistency and are particular to Recurve Bows. Browsing the accessories will give you some idea of the range of items available and which you may need.
