Fiberglass

Fiberglass is a composite material made from fine glass fibers. In archery, it is primarily used in bow limbs. It is usually combined with wood or other materials and provides both stability and flexibility.

Characteristics:

• High durability
• Good recovery and spring-back
• Robust and long-lasting
• Relatively inexpensive

Many traditional recurve and longbows have fiberglass laminated onto the limbs to improve performance and durability.
