I have met up with Novotny several times and shot his Persian bows. They make a boat-shaped reflex when unstrung, as opposed to a C-shape.

Most hornbows , after unstrung was more or less in boat shape.Include Korean "higher boat " :) .Bows need time, or heated help coming to C shape.

If anyone else has pictures to show, I'm very interested in Safavid era bows.
