I mean...one can argue that you can dual wield bows by knocking the arrows on either side of the shaft and pulling back both strings at once. They're not going to be any sort of accurate compared to someone using a single bow, however, as you basically have to put both on a very minor (like, 2 degrees) angle to draw both strings at once. 2 degrees doesn't sound like much, but the longer the distance the further apart the two arrows are going to fire.

Also, any true archer is going to laugh at you, and as Tessa pointed out, it's hard to properly hold both of them. You're looking at two lumps of wood, both of which are designed to be a solid grip in the palm of your hand, and you're stretching your pal and thumb around both of them. Sure, it can be done. But it's not stable, and you're liable to drop one from the force of drawing their strings.

Basically: it's not impossible but it is very stupid and impractical.
