Abstract
A bow is adapted to shoot a projectile along a direction of flight. The bow includes a riser, a first limb, a second limb, and a drawstring. The riser extends perpendicular to the direction of flight. The riser includes a first mount adjacent a first end and a second mount adjacent a second end of the riser. The first and the second limbs extend along first and second contours from a proximal end to a distal end. The first limb is mounted to the first mount of the riser. The first contour includes a first attachment segment positioned adjacent the first mount. The second limb is mounted to the second mount of the riser. The second contour includes a second attachment segment positioned adjacent the second mount. The drawstring is operably connected to the first and the second limbs adjacent the distal ends. The first and the second attachment segments at least partially extend in the direction of flight from the proximal end to the distal end of the corresponding attachment segment.
