The National Field Archery Association defines a competition bow as "an instrument consisting of a handle riser and two flexible limbs, each ending in a tip with a string nock. The bow is braced for use by a single bowstring attached directly between the two string nocks only. In operation, it is held in one hand by the handle riser while the fingers of the other hand draw, hold back and release the string." Most competition bows use a standard limb fitting that allows risers and limbs to be freely interchanged between models and makes.
