The distinction between a longbow and a recurve is that the string touches the belly of the bow on a recurve. These traditional bows meet that criteria and can thus be called "Traditional Recurve". The addition of siyahs means the string usually only contacts the belly of the siyah, rather than extending down the main belly of the limb. These are still a sub-category of recurves because the string is contacting the portion of the belly known as the siyah, but it is probably worth distinguishing them due to the siyahs changing the behaviour of the bow. So we'd have: "Recurve ⊃ Traditional Recurve", "Recurve ⊃ Siyah Recurve", "Traditional Siyah Recurve ≡ Traditional Recurve ∩ Siyah Recurve"

Traditional in the modern sense refers to fiberglass laminate bows with cut out shelves made popular in from the 1920s to 1960s by archers such as Fred Bear or Howard Hill. These are neither of those. If anything you could refer to them as historical or primitive recurves, but i think Asiatic is the best and most accurate way to refer to them, as they were used exclusively in Asia or eastern Europe.

I have ranted on this subject before... Like the fact that calling this class of bow "asiatic" would include e.g. Hungarian bows but would exclude Japanese bows and that pretty much all modern bows are "composite" bows.. I have been trying to push the idea that in germanic languages they can be called "horn bows" even if they don´t use horn in most modern interpretations. ("Synthetic horn bow" could be an option although somewhat convoluted.) The word "hornbow" appears in Beowulf, as well as in other viking sagas and the use of the term is so old that I think it can rightfully be applied to a class of bow rather than a litteral reference to the actual construction material. Somewhat like like how we call "straight" bows longbows in spite of them often being shorter than recurves. If I read "hornbow" I think of a short powerful composite bow and don´t really care about how it is constructed. So far I have managed to get about 0 people to agree with me... I guess I will have to call them "static recurves"...

@@ehisey For me the main difference betweem "horse bows" and "western traditional bows" (as the long bow, recurves, war bows...) or the one used in kyudo is the proficiency: "horse bows" are usually shorter but they are better at delivering a higher % of the stored force, which translates in better performance at the same drwa weight. Of course I known about hungarian, magyar, korean, turkish... bows having differences between them, but they share some core aspects, the same way that a hunting compound, a 3D compound and a target compound bows do share technology and concepts designs despite they can be different in execution and goals. But being "offended" because a layman sees your manchu bow as a "horse bow" would have the same sense as being resentful due someone called a Hoyt Prevail "a pulley hunting bow". Makes no sense. This is a niche hobby, large generalizations such "long bow", "recurve" "olympic", "compound" or "horse bow" helps people from outside to be more familar with the subject, and in time, if interested, they will learn the particularities and specificities of each variety. Being picky about nomenclature due the siyah of one particular bow is two inches longer than other and therefore, "they are completely different between them and unify then under the same imperialistic western-centric umbrella of horse bows is offensive" seems to me a bit childish. I like compound bows, horse bows and pre-historic bows, in that order. Don't care too much about recurves, olympic, long bows, war bows.
