if you are asking about a re-curve bow:

When strung and held properly, the bow curves towards the holder then, at the top and bottom, the bow has a sharp bend away, towards the target.

When unstrung, the bow is bent entirely towards the target, which leads many people to improperly string, and sometimes break re-curve bows.

This design gives the bowstring more tension which in turn gives the arrow more force.

Sorry if you were asking about something other than a re-curve bow.
