Abstract
A limb for a compound archery bow has an inboard end and an outboard end at opposite sides of an elongate axis. The inboard end is adapted to be secured to a handle riser of the bow. The outboard end is forked to define an outward opening crotch for accomodating a pulley. The limb is split along its elongate axis from the inboard end of the crotch for a substantial portion of the length of the limb toward the mounting at the limb inboard end to divide the limb into two limb portions on opposite sides of the elongate axis. Cooperation is provided at at least one location along the limb for holding together the limb portions sufficiently so that, upon application of a limb flexing force to a pulley axle at the outboard limb end, the limb portions flex essentially as though the limb were unsplit along its length.
