I was referring to our plains native bows that weren't sinew backed with a simple D shape.

Weren't the Mandan bows in the Dakotas along the Missouri River deflex tipped, too?

Guns have triggers. Bicycles have wheels. Trees and bows have wooden limbs.

... There are Mycenaean and ancient Greek depictions on stone walls and pottery showing bows with deflexed tips. ...

I'm always careful with these depictions. Have seen various Greek depictions of harp players holding the the harp backwards (bass strings towards the body).
Just saying...
