Nice looking bow, Ron. That style looks like it can be cut a bit closer to center than one with a shelf on each side. I'm going to be anxious to hear your shooting impressions.

I was just looking it over and I realized you can still use a bow quiver when the dual shelf is like this. Just another option with this design.

If you shoot with your foot like Ron LaClair did in his demonstrations, you could shoot two arrows at once!!!

Really cool design. I have only seen dual shelves on same side on kids bows, never on a big boy bow. Congrats on the bow.

I have seriously wondered about a bow like that,,, I guess to keep it even tiller when flipping it for RH/LH you just draw split finger with 2 fingers and it should shoot fine?

Well it warmed to a balmy 30 degrees and no wind so out I went to test drive my new Whisper from Northern Mist. 66" 44# @ 29" dual shelf on the same side. Shot with a Black Widow 3 under cordovan tab with 600 gr. cedars 55-60 spine with 125 gr up front. First 3 shots @ 15 yards were in the kill on my 3-D target......backed up to 20 yards and 2 out of 3 were in the kill. Turned the bow over and shot 3 left handed and all were in the 8 ring. Moved back up and shot lefty again at 15......2 in the 10 and one in the 8.......I think I'll keep this one.   :readit:   Quiet, smooth and really pretty quick.   :thumbsup:

The bow is tillered even and is symmetrical.

I wonder how many times Steve scratched his head making it? I still have to look twice when I string my whisper!
