selfbowed

Selfbow is a traditional type of bow string, specifically referencing the bow loops that are made in a single piece of string. In contrast to bridged bows, which feature separate, looped loops connected with a smaller loop called a "bridge", selfbows have a single loop made from the full length of the bow string.

The selfbow design is found in various cultures, with one of the earliest known examples from the Native American plains and early Middle Eastern regions. Both American Indian and Turkish bows employ selfbow designs for their simplicity and strength.

The selfbow construction methods vary, but one approach is to form the selfloops from the original string. To achieve a symmetrical bow, maintain the center point of the string, bringing both the center point and ends together then rotating to form the loops will help minimize dispersing force.

Creating multiple selfloops to join at a single point enhances the theoretical strength. Many fundamental archery based equipment utilize variations on the selfbow form, reflecting material service, purpose, and an overall effectiveness combined. In modern times, selfbows mainly hold archaeological, curatorial, and informal archery practice values.

Everyday usage of selfbows generally comprise non-critical ballistics portions, however usage discussion empirically separate these loops indicative but simplicity purposes.
