appendix - the guy drawing the bow is not redhawk55.

In the book "Reflexbogen" there is also a photo of this bows.

I don't know if a english version of this book exists.

Search for Reflexbogen book.
There is a preview on google books.
On page 31 you will find the picture.

On this site there is also a discussion about the greek and the penobscot bows with split limbs or holes in the limb.

Thanks Chumash, that is an interesting read.  There must be something to it if different groups from different continents both had this design.  Even if it's not the best, still neat that they both had the same idea.
