Rusty, nope.  Though I do have a nice '55-'56 Bear Cub now.  It's got a straight reflexed profile to give it the "semi-recurve"  See:
 

This bow is quite definitely has a fair amount of deflex in the riser.  It's a 1958 Bear Alaskan.  Just thought I'd post a pic or two for all the people saying the r/d hybrids are a new bow design.  There are also pix available of r/d bows a few thousand years old that are near dead-ringers for today's hybrids.
