Abstract
In some embodiments, an archery bow limb assembly comprises a first limb, a second limb and a spacer. The spacer contacts the first limb and the second limb. The first limb comprises a limb material. The spacer comprises a spacer material comprising a higher clastic modulus than the limb material. A width of the spacer is less than a width of the first limb.
