Does it really matter? I don't think it is worth concerning one's self over. Either way, it is a "traditional" (non-wheel) bow.
When I posted pictures of our
Hunter series "longbow" on one site, someone quickly stepped up and mentioned that it wasn't a longbow and that a "true longbow" is...
Rather than arguing the point that the string doesn't touch the tip, I just stated the truth. The design received influence from the recurve even though it is a "longbow" so instead of arguing as to how to classify it, I chose to focus more on the bow's traits and not worry about "classes." Classes generally separate groups into smaller categories because some feel a given design has a handicap. I myself am not into affirmative action or entitlements at 3D events. I think, let the best bow win. Howard Hill could hit really well with his HH bows and I believe that was the best bow for him. Of course, we are all different.
I believe in shooting the best bow one can...and I define best by accuracy, efficiency, durability, stability, maneuverability, and quietness...but that is because I use the bow as a hunting tool, and view competition as a friendly way to test one's hunting skills. I would like to see traditional archery evolve into just two classes myself, 1. traditional bowhunter with modern arrows and 2. traditional bowhunter with wood arrows. Regardless of the class, a finger release would be required and with no sight pins are allowed (since the long term durability of sight pins isn't tested in a 3D shoot). Other than that, let whatever style bow or style of shooting win. You just had to be able to get your shot off. An event can be set up to test many of the bow's attributes. Can you shoot in unorthodox positions? If you were a string walker, that's fine, but can you hit the moving targets? "Survival of the fittest" type of mindset.
As far as bows go, in my opinion there are ultimately two classes of bows. Those designed for bowhunting and those designed for field archery, as this doesn't really go together...

It isn't worth arguing about IMO. They are all non-wheeled bows. Let the best bow win. This causes both bowyers and archers to "step up to the plate" to produce and shoot the best bow possible for a given situation.
