An archery bow has a handle section to which a bow limb, which is flexible over at least part of its length, is connected at each end. A bowstring is tensioned between the free ends of the two bow limbs. The handle section is extended by means of rigid axial extensions. Each of the bow limbs includes a comparatively flexible portion and has a first end hingedly connected to one end of the handle section. The second end of each flexible portion is hingedly connected to the free end of the associated extension. Each bow limb further includes a comparatively rigid portion which extends between the second end of said flexible portion and the free end of the bow limb, the arrangement being such that the comparatively flexible portion is subjected substantially to bending by buckling only.
