BTW, I had a recurve years ago that the limb broke on me and it looked like aluminum when you looked at the grain. I was pretty sure that they were made out of that until now. Perhaps recurve limbs were??
I have recurves made from 40's to present, and all are wood core, wood backed, fiberglass backed, carbon backed, fiberglass total, but none are metal.

I am building a medieval crossbow with the prod made from high temper steel. As they did use this material at the end of 16 century.

Friend of mine one time dry fired his and cracked a limb and he superglued it and he's still shooting it now same as he did the first day he got it, the limb ended up cracking beyond repair when it got pressed but other than that it worked. I do NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT recommend trying to superglue it, i say go get a new set of limbs or just talk the wife into a new bow. Ryan.
