Assuming you're talking GNAS - Rule 206/206a does not prescribe D-shape, only that "The bow shall correspond to the traditional form of a longbow which means that when strung the string may not touch any other part of the bow but the string nocks".
So as long as they don't touch the limbs - could be American Flatbow.

...but it is a hybrid...

NFAS would not accept it as AFB - hasn't got D-shaped limbs! Would go in one of the recurve styles
depending on arrows, hook/release, ...

Think IFAA also would reject as longbow due to limb shape.
