Topic: Jumtong shapes
Curious about the pistol grip shape on most Korean bows. Is that a modern design ?
Some bows I've seen have somewhat slimmer, oval shape. eg : http://www.koreanarchery.org/punbb/viewtopic.php?id=619

Looks like a pretty straight wrist in the pics of that thread. Something like shooting a Turkish bow maybe.
I think that grip style's existed since at least late 1800s
