Recurve bows can have a decreasing draw curve according to [1]: It will be shown that by such a recurve it even is possible that the drawing force can decrease in the neighbourhood of maximum draw. See also the numerical examples in that paper. The static solver can't handle this currently.

I think also #85, when/if implemented can cause this (that's my hope anyway XD)
