Umm...Hybrid...you mean hook echoes? Because bow echoes are shaped more like a bow (hence the name) and produce damaging winds. Those are classic hook echoes.

Bow echoes are usually the entire line of storms forming a huge bow basically. The hook echo is a signature to a very severe thunderstorm when its in the process of forming tornadoes.
