No picture but my N.M. Baraga remains my go to bow. I really appreciate how it zips my arrow quietly and with no handshock. It has been my most consistent bow on Michigan whitetails.

I have been building these Flatliner design bows for years, and the 3 piece design has been popular the last few years. I typically use a tip wedge in this limb design, and it can technically take some of them out of the true D shape category with a very slight reflex to the tip at brace...
On the other hand, i've built many of these for competitors that need that perfect D shape using the same form and same shape by using use a carbon tip overlay that holds the shape, yet still works as a static tip...Its laid up with the tip wedge, then shaped back to the D shape "post lay up" keeping the tips static. There is a serious difference in performance having those tips static vs a whippy tip.
Here are a couple of these 3 pc long bows built recently.

This is a one piece with the tip wedge, and has a very slight reflex to the tips.

A few more one piece photos here
Btw.... I still have some of this Black and White ebony in stock, dry and ready to use if someone is interested.... Kirk

Having, or not having, braced longbow visual tip reflex is only an aesthetic thing, no more or less.
IF a braced longbow exhibits ANY amount of "flip to the tips" it ain't a "D" shape R/D longbow. This is mostly a very visual thing as most mild R/D longbows still show some amount of tip reflex when braced. If it matters, and yer not sure, use a small straight edge to check a braced bows tips on its back and belly.
Again, it's just an AESTHETIC thing.

My favorite longbow, a Liberty English. Made of yew with a micarta riser as it is a takedown. At 68” and 45#, it packs a punch and is a joy to shoot.

These are my favorite kind of bow. Here is my Elburg Cherokee Magnum Flatbow. The shape of the bow when it is braced is so classic. And the performance is absolutely top notch. Harry's bows are Amazing!
