The recurve bow is the modern evolution of traditional bows that have existed for thousands of years. The limbs positioned at the top and bottom of the bow curve back away from the archer at each tip.
The compound bow was invented in the 1960s and uses a levering system of pulleys and cables, making it faster and decidedly more accurate than other types of bow.
The inclusion of Archery at Samoa 2015 was made at the special request of the Samoan Prime Minister, a keen archer who became the first elected leader to win a medal for his country when he competed at the 2007 Pacific Games.
