yes, the construction is a composite, or laminate.
as opposed to what's called a self bow, or a one-piece.
but the style/shape, and the materials used, are two different terms.
you can make a composite recurve, or a composite straightbow, in other words.
the style he's constructing, is mostly an ordinary longbow, with the grip being more typical of what's called a reflex bow.
No really. Ted Nugent uses one for hunting.
Wang Dang Poontang!

But you shouldn't.
Well, even discover is liable to make mistakes once in a while. At any rate, I myself was surprised to find out that super-adhesive glue and fiberglass were both used in authentic traditional "long" bows.
Well, in their defense, they do say "today's" long bows. Not ancient ones.
It's just a string of this, then this, then this, then this, then this, then it's done, accompanied by some uninformative video. No drama. No science. Nothing to connect the bow with the people who use it. Nothing about why.
