These bend through the handle bows will surprise you. They can be quite effective.  I was reading an old issue of PA tonight about...The Simple "D" Bow, by Greg Harris(vol2 issue3). I have made a few of them and will continue to make more.  I want to see how simple I can make it and still be effective. Make something from nothing ya know! ;)
  Steve, I bearly noticed the deviation.  ::)
Thankxx Traxx for looking!  ;)     Pat

Love them D bows! I make some English Warbows that bend through the handle and they really can toss them with authority. Though a flat belly and backed D bows style may be more effective at lower weight bows up to 70#. English over 90# and up they tame armored knights and put them to bed!  ;D

Be neat to compare a 100# Indian style D bow to a 100# English D bow. Wonder which would shoot better?

Progress might have been all right once but it's gone on for far too long.
