The term single-piece bow may be used to describe a traditional archery bow that is made from a single piece of wood or other material. However, there are several synonyms that can be used to describe this type of bow, including one-piece bow, self-bow, single stave bow, unbacked bow, and straight bow. Regardless of the term used, single-piece bows are prized by traditional archers for their simplicity and their ability to provide a direct connection between the archer and the bow, resulting in a more intuitive shooting experience. They are also often crafted by experienced bowyers and can be highly valued for their aesthetic beauty and craftsmanship.
