John,

I do understand, I just try to give complete answers.  You probably do not want to ask me what time it is...  ;-)

Laminated wood products are in their own class when it comes to materials properties.  I have worked around the edges of them, but am no expert by any means.  Typical high-density hardwoods have allowable stresses in the 5000 to 7500 psi range (off the top of my head and without looking it up).  I have worked with high-pressure laminated wood products where allowable stresses reached into the 18,000+ psi range.  I would assume that archery products fall into that class of materials -- but that is an assumption based on no actual knowledge.

But, as a design and development (mechanical) engineer, I prefer to use (my favorite material) unobtainium!
