If you can't get the flies with the arrows you could always swat them with the bow!

I just made a tiny arrow (11.5" 78gn) for it from a wooden meat skewer, It shoots ok, but the arrow drifts and corkscrews a bit even with tiny flights, maybe needs a slightly heavier arrow.

I just did it as a joke/demonstration to show that front profile doesn't necessarilly have any bearing on the tiller shape.
It has no historical basis, although someone did point out that some Native American bows are a bit like this.
