This is mostly due to their lighter weight. Steadier: Many archers find recurve crossbows easier to aim. For this reason, survivalists and still hunters prefer them since they can carry them long distances over multi-day hunts. This is because there isn’t much too them besides the limbs and bowstring. Light weight: Recurve crossbows are lighter despite being larger. Many times you can even do basic maintenance yourself without having to take it into a shop. For example, restringing a recurve is much easier. With no complex mechanisms, a recurve is less likely to suddenly break down in the field, and if it does, it’s much easier to fix. Serious archers and frequent bowhunters may take thousands of shots over the life of their crossbow, and this can lead to wear and tear. Reliability: Because of their simple design, recurve crossbows are much more reliable. This is achieved with minimal mechanical complexity. Recurve crossbows are usually very large and very powerful with speeds sometimes over 400 FPS (feet per second). The curves make the limbs act as highly powerful springs that launch the bowstring and therefore the bolt at high speeds. They get their name from the unique shape of the limbs, which curve away from the front of the bow but then recurve back toward it in a sort of S shape. They feature two limbs mounted horizontally on a stock and barrel. Recurve crossbows are the most basic type of crossbow.
