Abstract
A bow limb includes an elongated member having a plurality of strands of glass fiber extending longitudinally within the member and a reinforcing sheet adjacent a major surface of the member, preferably the convex surface of the limb when the limb is flexed. The sheet includes a plurality of carbon fibers that are either unidirectional or bi-directional and, if bi-directional, are woven with the warp of the fibers at an angle to the length of the limb. The angle is adjusted to control the characteristics of the limb.
