A method of making a component of archery bow comprising the steps of:
- (a) producing a core part in a shape of an archery bow component without having sharp edges and corners, the core part having a first or upper face surface, a second or lower face surface corresponding to the first or upper face surface, a first lateral surface, and a second lateral surface corresponding to the first lateral surface;
- (b) applying adhesive on a first external surface of the core part, the first external surface covering the first or upper face surface and from about a third of the first and second lateral surfaces at an upper side of the lateral surfaces to about all of the first and second lateral surfaces;
- (c) placing a first reinforcing cloth over the first external surface of the core part in such a manner that the reinforcing cloth is evenly distributed and conforms to the first external surface of the core part, the first reinforcing cloth containing resin and reinforcing particles or fibrous materials and having a size to cover the first external surface of the core part;
- (d) placing a first synthetic film of flexible and expandable property over the first reinforcing cloth, the first synthetic film having a size to cover an entire surface of the first reinforcing cloth;
- (e) hermetically sealing a circumferential area of the first synthetic film to prevent air from passing through the circumferential area of the first synthetic film;
- (f) applying a vacuum pressure onto the core part covered with the first reinforcing cloth and the first synthetic film, and causing the first reinforcing cloth and the first synthetic film to closely contact and adhere to the first external surface of the core part and also to remove air bubbles entrapped or retained between the core part and the first reinforcing cloth;
- (g) curing the adhesive applied on the first external surface of the core part under a heated condition, and thus causing the first reinforcing cloth to firmly adhere to the core part;
- (h) peeling off the first synthetic film and removing a residual or unnecessary portion of the first reinforcing cloth from the core part;
- (i) applying adhesive on a second external surface of the core part, the second external surface covering the second or lower face surface and from about none of the first and second lateral surfaces to about two thirds of the first and second lateral surfaces at a lower side of the lateral surfaces;
- (j) placing a second reinforcing cloth over the second external surface of the core part in such a manner that the reinforcing cloth is evenly distributed and conforms to the second external surface of the core part, the second reinforcing cloth containing resin and reinforcing particles or fibrous materials and having a size to cover the second external surface of the core part;
- (k) placing a second synthetic film of flexible and expandable property over the second reinforcing cloth, the second synthetic film having a size to cover an entire surface of the second reinforcing cloth;
- (l) hermetically sealing a circumferential area of the second synthetic film to prevent air from passing through the circumferential area of the second synthetic film;
- (m) applying a vacuum pressure onto the core part covered with the second reinforcing cloth and the second synthetic film, and causing the second reinforcing cloth and the second synthetic film to closely contact and adhere to the second external surface of the core part and also to remove air bubbles entrapped or retained between the core part and the second reinforcing cloth;
- (n) curing the adhesive applied on the second external surface of the core part under a heated condition, and thus causing the second reinforcing cloth to firmly adhere to the core part;
- and
- (o) peeling off the second synthetic film and removing a residual or unnecessary portion of the second reinforcing cloth from the core part.
