Jack;
 I love dual shelf bows...but you will have to explain the advantages of this design to me???

Over-Under instead of side by side

You can choose shooting off the traditional shelf or elevated. Or perhaps shoot two arrows at once and double your chances of hitting what your aiming at.

Jack, nice   :thumbsup:  Looks to be center shot and cutout may be for vane clearance. Sure looks like that would work out. Just a thought   :cool:  Hink

How about the two at once; " an over and under" shot

Id have to try a two arrow shot with that one.

That might just say a little something about my personality.    :knothead:

I do seem to remember a bow that was designed to be shot with two arrows.  My memory is saying it was marketed by Art LaHa.  But don't bet any money based on my memory!  :knothead:

Thanks Whip. I thought I might have something unique but looks like there are more around.

Still a pretty neat find Jack.

Are you going to try it or just admire it?

Charlie,

 I imagine I'm going to need to nock a couple arrows on the string at some point and see if it improves my shooting any.
