An archery bow limb may comprise a thermoplastic material having
reinforcing. A tension side of the bow limb may have continuous
unidirectional reinforcing spanning substantially the entire length of
the bow limb. A method of manufacturing such bow limbs may comprise
building up layers of reinforcing fibers preimpregnated with
thermoplastic resin (prepregs) over a core of thermoplastic material to
make a preform, and compression molding the preform to consolidate the
thermoplastic of the prepreg layers to one another and to the core.
