A fiber reinforced construction and method for a loom shuttle is disclosed which includes a plurality of layers 26, 28, 30 of a reinforcing fabric F laminated with conventional layers 18 across a section of the yarn eye slot E formed in the shed side wall 12 of the shuttle. The reinforcing fabric F includes reinforcing fibers, preferably Kevlar, woven in the filling direction which are oriented along the height of the side wall reinforcing the yarn eye section. The side wall is effectively reinforced against splitting caused by forces imparted by the actions of the picker stick and shuttle box on the loom.
