Do you have a side picture of that Pat? I'm pretty sure I know what's going on but, you know.

Here's a thread  showing a bow that has a recurve with a bit of both features. The tapered wedge shape transitioning to the belly groove.

I like that, I'll copy it, within copyright of course.

Check out how Turkish bows nocks are made. I've made a couple of osage 90 deg recurves  with tips done the same way. It is much better from a stability point of view than the standard way of making nocks on wooden recurves.
Loon a shyia is just a recurve with a different name....

hey, i wasn't saying that siyahs weren't static recurves
I just thought static recurves draw smoother than working ones since they don't unfold

it is not as simple as that, there are lots of other factors at play.
Working recurves are a bit of a misnomer in a wooden bow.
