Thanks for all the good advice and pictures guys! Eric I really like that bulbous handle, mine never come out quite right for some reason

Fox,
Practice shaping some styles on scrap wood, until you find one you like, then try it on a bow!  These are all good ideas!

Fox, I'm with Jim:  I put straight, ELB-style handles on all my bows so far (I shaped handles on several "bow kits" before I started building them from scratch).  My hand just adapts to them and they all feel the same.  My old fib*****ss recurve has a semi-pistol grip, and it works fine too.  Good to try a few styles and find what works for you.
