I just ran into a new term, for me, reverse handled longbows. From what I can tell they have the laminations for the limbs on the belly side of the bow rather than on the back side as is traditional.

What are the benefits and the shortcomings of a reverse handled bow? My T/D recurve, ChekMate Firebird, is what I would call a reverse handle recurve. The limbs are on the belly side, too! One benfit I have noticed, is the 56" bow draws awfully smooth for my drawlength, 28", and is advertised to be stackfree up to 30" with little if any fingerpinch. Would a reverse handle longbow have the same benefits?

Thanks!
