I don't know about these systems but Big Jim's Bow Company.
Uses fiberglass, rosen and carbon to make a sleeve.

This link will get you in the area if you want to watch there are,about 10 videos.
I am currently trying this on a small youth longbow that I was supposed to ship to Australia. Australia has a postal restriction of 42 inches in country.
Bow was finished thus the interest in,a take down.
