Technically, it's a longbow. We used to call them 'semi-recurves' or 'long curves'. That one looks nice.

It's a longbow young sir. It might also be called a semi-recurve if it's an older bow. Some of the older longbows were called that.

Since it has some outward curve to its limbs, like the reflex/deflex longbows of today, it might look like a recurve. However, it is technically a longbow since the string only touches the limbs at the points where the string is attached to the limb. If the string ran along the surface of the limb for a ways it would be a recurve.
