This is perhaps being nit picky but I sell my bows as heirloom quality bows. I want them to last so when I talk with a customer about a certain bow I tell them the truth about how I feel about it. I love foam core carbon limbs. However I do question whether or not they will last as long as wood core limbs.
Let's not forget that for every 50 year bow with wood core limbs that is still in existence today, there is at least one that is in a landfill, ash pit, attic, or bow rack with delaminated, splintered, blown up limbs.
For some reason we only seem to remember the one's that survive. I'm guessing the same will be true for foam.
Shoot, I have an aluminum laminated Grizzly in mint condition. Been around for over 60 years.
MUST be a great design...
