Abstract
In construction of an archery bow, presence of an additional connecting mechanism in the region of the handle riser astride the grip well prevents uncontrolled jump of the broken piece at accidental breakage of the archery bow at the handle riser thereby assuring the utmost safety of archers. The riser has a core encased in an FRP shell. In one embodiment, an elongated connector extends through the core and has its ends connected to the shell. In a second embodiment, the core has an elongated recess near each end and the shell has a projection slidably positioned in each slot.
