Olympic Recurve Archery is a widely recognized and practiced form of competitive archery worldwide, with roots in the classic recurve bow and boosted by its presence in the Olympics and World Archery competitions.Olympic Recurve bows come in two parts, the riser and the limbs. Risers are made of aluminum or carbon fiber while limbs come in different styles using foam, graphene, wood, carbon, or fiberglass sandwiched in carbon.Risers and limbs are designed to fit together using the ILF (International Limb Fitting) or Formula (Hoyt) systems. It's essential to keep in mind that the ILF and Formula systems are not interchangeable - ILF limbs won't fit a Formula riser and vice versa. ILF is more popular and offers more options.Risers are available in 23, 25, or 27 inches, while limbs come in short, medium, or long lengths. The combination of these sizes determines the length of the bow. It is crucial to be correctly fitted by a professional to determine the ideal size for you as incorrect sizing may affect your scores and performance.In Olympic Recurve Archery, equipment must be used with a clicker, recurve sight, finger sling, string, front and rear stabilizers, and an arrow rest. Beginners should consult with a local pro shop to ensure a proper setup and fitting. Olympic Recurve Archery is not a self-setup sport for those new to the sport.
