Out of curiosity, I asked the seller, "Very interesting shape. Could you post an unbraced shot? I'm curious about the abrupt bending (hinge?) right at the fade area."

His response, "I sure will. The design is one that shapes the bow that way when the wood is laminated. I think it works very well, kind of a hybrid bow. It looks the same unstrung, but I will post a picture. Thank's for your interest."

Let's see what it looks like unbraced.

Those tips look way huge and massive...nonbending tips that are more than half the length of the limb??

I hope no one buys that hideous thing...I'm not even gonna call it a bow.

He has an unbraced pic up now.....he was right, it doesn't look any different!  Not so sure I like his "hybrid" design.

Well....is there any way that design is based on a time proven design?

Hell I can hardly tell what portion of that limb is bending.
