Foam Core Limbs??

I noticed some bowyers have Foam Core limbs. Can someone explain the benefits of this? I was just curious.Thanks for the advice.

Stability regardless of temperature. Consistency and smoothness of draw. Olympic shooters have been using them in their limbs for quite some time.

I have recently bought a bow with foam core limbs.

It is 65#, same as my old Bear Take down ( mag riser)

The Bear liked 2117's the new bow 2219's.

I suspect it's a bit quicker, lol.

I talked to Bob Morrison about the foam core limbs he is building  He told me they are faster, quieter, smoother, and more forgiving.  I will find out for myself in a few months.

Anybody know where a guy can get some of this foam in sheet form?

I watched an olympic hopeful practicing with a bow that had the foam core.  I was floored by how flat that 41lb. bow shot his arrows at the long shot.  I wonder what the fps he was getting.  I want a Hill style with the stuff.

BORDER HEX V limbs can be bought with a foam core, if not they have a mapple core.
