The best shape for a reflexed bow?

I also like the curvature graph—you can see exactly where the bow is actually bending.

Yes quite helpful with reflex/deflex and other profiles that are hard to judge when looking at the bow on a tiller tree.

Thanks Tuomo!
I'd say the results are intersting to get a general idea about these designs. The setback handle being worst and the d/r best will will most likely match with reality.
However: Having the front profiles and tapers not optimized will distort the outcome relevant. Especially having the same front profiles on all bows neglects specific advantages/disadvantages of these designs. The recurves need a lot more mass on the outers to stabilize than a self-stabilizing longbow. In my experience the theoretical advantages of recurves and other complex designs over longbows mostly get consumed with the additional mass required. Therefore I would cast into doubt  the "placements" 3-5 and also I think the gap between 1 and 6 is not that big.
