Abstract
An archery bow has a pair of limbs with at least one of the limbs having a split section defining a pair of limb sections generally separate from each other. A connecting member is received within the split section to connect the limb sections to each other between a point of string attachment and a handle portion of the bow. The connecting member limits relative movement between the limb sections.
Claims24
An archery bow, comprising:
- a handle portion having spaced apart ends;
- a pair of limbs each having one end attached to a separate one of the ends of the handle portion and a free end spaced from the handle portion and having a point of string attachment adjacent the free ends with at least one of the limbs having a split section defining a pair of limb sections at least substantially separate from one another between the handle portion and said point of string attachment with each limb section having an upper surface and a lower surface;
- and
- a connecting member connecting the limb sections to each other and mounted to the pair of limb sections between the upper and lower surfaces of the limb sections limiting relative movement between the pair of limb sections.

The archery bow of claim further comprising a dampener disposed on said connecting member.
An archery bow, comprising:
- a riser having spaced apart ends;
- a pair of limbs each having one end attached to a separate one of the ends of the riser and a free end having a pulley attached adjacent each free end, with at least one of the limbs having a split section defining a pair of limb sections at least substantially separate from one another and defined between the riser and the pulley on said at least one of the limbs, each of said limb sections having an upper surface and a lower surface;
- and
- a connecting member carried by said at least one of the limbs in its split section between the upper surfaces and lower surfaces of the limb sections interconnecting the limb sections to each other limiting relative movement between the limb sections.
