Static bow design ?

[PatM]

That sounds a bit contradictory. Clearly your bow proved longer recurves are better but shorter are more practical and long lasting.

My test bow I spoke of earlier had very long narrow static tips with large sweeping static curves

Sounds like a concept that needs more exploration. Do you have a pic or link, so that we can better visualize?

I think it depends. It's like Turkish and Korean vs Manchu bows. Long static tips are better at heavier arrows? Short hooks should be great for light to medium arrows? Badger's bow seems to say otherwise, though. working recurves?
