The back up limbs for my wife's DAS bow are Win&win Syznergy limbs which are made with what we call the Adcock Cross section.

From a talk I've had with another bowyer, the Cross Section design has been around a while and like Bill says,,, on the BACK of the bow. Not being that avid of an archery buff/historian I'm just passing on what I've heard.
Nana ka maka;
ho`olohe ka pepeiao;
pa`a ka waha.

Observe with the eyes;
listen with the ears;
shut the mouth.

I read this quite some time ago and wondered who thought of the curve on the limbs first   This article came out in 2003.  I talked to Miller bows who only makes the John Shulz type bow that Howard Hill showed John how to make.   Miller claims that Howard had this idea backed then since he used bamboo.

It would be great to have a bow made out of tape measures on the limbs. Then I could score the racks of all the big deer guaranteed to be killed by such an effective weapon right where they fall.    ;)

I'm one of those "elitist traditional snobs" that prefers my recurves and longbows to shoot like traditional bows. Thanks.
