Title: Brain lapse - what are they called?
Post by: Cacatch on February 24, 2010, 01:17:27 pm

I can't believe I cannot remember the name...for the bows that have a smaller bow on back, that increases draw weight and usually performance? Often said to be possibly what the first settlers encountered in this country by the natives?

Somebody help...  ???

That's the thing! I was doing all kinds of searches but since I couldn't think of the name, none of them turned up what I wanted. I want to make one and that's why I was trying to look up some pictures.

Thanks
