I am going to order a long bow. I was thinking of getting a duel shelf... What are he draw backs to having a duel shel over a single one? What are your guys thought?
With properly tuned arrows they are great. Our whole family shoots and we're a mixed family with more than one lefty and righty in the mix. We have a few dual shelves in various weights. In fact, I REALLY like the old dual shelf Bear Alaskans. We have 3 of them. Cheap, quiet, smooth, and efficient.
Shoot what you like and like what you shoot.
No draw backs. proper arrow spine and brace ht. become a little more important. The only draw back is, it's bit harder on the guy making it.
I had a U-finish hybrid made with a dual shelf. I really liked it but the weight was a little too much for my "off-side". I sold it, but bought another bow blank at a lighter weight. I'm contemplating making it a dual shelf when I shape the riser.
My next HH bow will be ambi...but with no shelf.
I like shootin both sides....
It really builds up your strength....
And it comes in handy when shoot a 3D shoot, and the target is easyer to shoot one side than the other....
There's a dual shelf Mad Dog already up for the St Jude's auction. Looks pretty slick. Check out the st Jude's thread by lpjcon for a link to it.

I have searched but can't find it. Can put a link to it?
I had a hill style double shelf made for me this past year. Had a great time with it all season. My off side needs some work on strength in the wrist, but otherwise no problems.
