Morrison Cougars are fairly radical. Hoyt gamegetters are too.

Depends on who you ask. Chek-Mate's Longhorn is the first one that comes to my mind (reckon why?). Shrew's are radical, Black Forrest, Black Creek, Voodoo, Navajo,....most any of the short "longbows".

I don't call them hybrids. The deflex/reflex design was around thousands of years before Howard Hill, and I'm pretty sure before the English longbow.

I cannot remember the name of the guy who has come up with it, but the double deflex is pretty darn radical. I have yet to see on made all organic. I believe that style has to be put under glass. I made one out of bamboo and Osage but had to tiller it to a kids weight because the raw materials could not handle that radical of a design. I think I’ll make a glass laminated one later this year to see if I like shooting that design.

Do you mean the Bill Stewart multi-cam? That one is pretty wild. Not sure, but I think Mr. Stewart passed away a year or three ago.
