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.

Re: Jumtong shapes

I think that grip style's existed since at least late 1800s
