Beaver,I think bows were made with steel years ago,the physical weight of steel I would guess is the reason you don't see it?
Interesting though!
I always wonder what state of the art material NASA has that would be just the ticket for archery.

It is more the physical weight of the limbs and especially at the tips. Heavy weight handle area can be good for stability.
  Fred Bear(I believe) made aluminum lams for bows for a short while but gave up the idea for fiberglass.
