I have not used this type of bow before. My feeling is that the pointed end will allow me to keep the bow tight without putting undue pressure on the windpipe or blood vessels in the neck. The narrow profile and sharper angle also keep the bow further away from the mobile shoulder area. I have often wanted to raise the bow on my big yoke as the edges of the bow flirt with rubbing on the shoulders. Raising the yoke much more, however, causes choking on my semi-circular bows. This shape would solve that problem for my big team. I do not honestly know how common this problem is and might be due to my big team having “Jersey necks and Shorthorn shoulders.” Perhaps there will be no advantage for my calf team, but following the natural outline of the neck makes sense to me.
