Power lams
DC:
This is the only thing I can find and I don't think a power lam would fit without some imaginative rule reading ;D
iii) Wooden handle built-up blocks may be added, providing the built up portion of the
handle does not bend or additional blocks act as an additional laminate in the
working/bending areas of the bow limbs.
willie:
https://worldarchery.org/Rules has the rules linked to in the pdf's, books 3 and 5
DC:
It looks like World Archery doesn't mention selfbows or laminates. I hate rule books, they never seem to mention what you want to know and then when you gripe about it some rules geek will point out that what you want to know is buried in an appendix somewhere. Sorry, it really doesn't matter because I will probably never need to know, I'm just curious.
willie:
documentation or rules or instructions are not easy to write. sometimes the writer is too close to the subject, and assumes what is obvious to him does not need to be written down.
for example, I have been looking through the rules concerning the modern american longbow class. I can't find anything describing the permissible materiel for the bow. Should I assume that anything goes, maybe even foam filled carbon fiber? the arrows on the other hand, are specifically limited to wood, bamboo and feathers, while for the strings, "There are no restrictions on the bow string construction or type of materials used.", so even with no limitations, questions about materiel's have been addressed.
Badger:
We have a much more comprehensive book on rules. For some reason I can't find it. On the American Longbows I don't believe there would be any restrictions on materials used for the bow.
