Should not be a problem, especially if the splice is in the non bending part of the handle.  Plus the draw weight is going to be light.

A handle overlay is a good idea.  Mostly to keep from lifting a splinter when rubbing it with your hand.  It will add some extra (probably un-needed) strength also.
