I visited the P & Y museum in Chatfield, MN a few years ago.  They had hundreds of bows from yester-years.  Lots of different designs tried over the years thats for sure.

YORNOC....
Nice looking bow.
I actually think they're neat looking.
In the pics it looks like there are holes in the "horns". Are they holes? If so do you put different weights in them?...Maybe stuff some sims antivibe rubber in there.....

They are large brass machine screws, and yes you can adjust weight and/or install dampening devices in them. When made, there werent too many options for anti vibe like today. Cool bows back then for sure.

That's so cool.

How does it shoot?

That swift is neat too. Talk about a forward handle.

An arrow can only be shot by pulling it backward.So when life is dragging you back with difficulties, it means that it's going to launch you into something great.

You say radical? LOL  How about the WonderBow

 

I wish I had better pictures of it. It had an adjustable draw weight that You changed by moving a metal clip on the riser.

It kind of looked like a reverse Penobscott bow.
