I had a bow that looked very similar in the early seventies and it was called a Flex-steel, but it had a single shelf. Boy did it have the handshock! It wanted to jump right out of your hand on release. Thanks for the pictures!

well , well , well...right before my bed time. not much hand shock with this one....about what you would expect from solid fiberglass limbs,manageable.From the grip,I don't think it is a double shelf. Like I said " meet Geoooorge Jetson....and his bow"

I have one like in the above pictures. I bought it to teach archery to my kids. I wanted the dual shelf in case I had a lefty and did not know it.I think they where made in the midwest?
