Anyone remember a bow made by darton a while back called the "stinger" I think? It reminds me of that. Looking back, very short bows have never caught on very well. One day, someone will perfect it though.

Maybe it wasn't called the stinger... But it was held like a sling shot, with a vertical handle, and the bow portion of it was set at a 45 degree angle or so and the sights were mounted on top of it. It was a super short compound style bow, and I think it only found favor with bowfishermen. It was made in the 1990's but I can't find Darton's past catalogs to find the name.
