kevlar?

I see that carbon express and Easton I think are using this material in thier arrows to make a much more stronger,stiffer, shaft, read that its 5x's stronger than steel pound for pound, so I wonder,
will traditional bows be using this material in their limbs?

if that were possible?

Deadpool, Kevlar takes impacts well and is very strong in tension but it is the worst composite material in compression and "stiffness" department. Also epoxy matrix is the best for fiberglass and carbon while Vinylester is best with Kevlar, so, composites made with epoxy that use Kevlar mixed with carbon or glass isn't as good as it could be. Sure don't want to use it anywhere that needs to be sanded, it fuzzes something terrible!   ....O.L.

I was hoping you would answer my question O.L!!

I figured sence it made a stiffer arrow it would make a stiffer more efficient set of limbs

I guess not huh

The new Innopower limbs from Win and Win has Kevlar integrated in the inner foam lams,not in the outer carbon laminations.
