Recurve Bows:
Pros
- Greater power for a given bow size & weight
- Ideal for short bows, but can also be used on long bows for increased power (though not necessarily more power than a compound or composite bow)
- Requires more durable materials for a given bow size to prevent the bow from simply breaking under the strain
- Can be noisier when drawn versus other bow forms, making it less useful for stealth
- Particularly high recurves can make the bow unwieldy and unstable when strung
