Can they be reduced in weight like a normal laminated limb? Thanks-Hap

Yes, but its much easier to reduce weight on glass/wood bows.  One or two pounds is probably reasonable.  Much more than that and it would be iffy.  Depends on the individual bow.

I just bought a new longbow from Morrison a couple months ago.(carbon/foam) This was a stock bow and was about 3lbs too heavy for my likng. Bob took the 3lbs off for me. He did say that this would be about the most he could take off for me.
