An archery bow limb may comprise a thermoplastic material having reinforcing. A tension side of the bow limb may have continuous unidirectional reinforcing spanning substantially the entire length of the bow limb. A method of manufacturing such bow limbs may comprise building up layers of reinforcing fibers preimpregnated with thermoplastic resin (prepregs) over a core of thermoplastic material to make a preform, and compression molding the preform to consolidate the thermoplastic of the prepreg layers to one another and to the core.
