    And the first is just a bow - or bow and arrow.

    By the way, it's 'What do you call these things/weapons/devices?'

    The first image is of a competition recurve bow. This is a longbow: Redirect Notice
    (I am something of an archer, I have a competition recurve bow. I used to have a longboow but they are 182 cms long and difficult to transport).
