What drill type for drilling through limbs

[Collett5149]

I'm working on my first take-down bow, and don't know how to drill through the completed limbs for the bolts & locator pins. I'm worried about the glass tearing out. The design is done, and I should be glueing up soon.
Any tips will be greatly appreciated.

One guy on here will tell he uses no masking tape on his limbs. To me this helps the glass not to splinter when taped and don't force it.when drilling the bolt hole always back up with hardwood sothe bit does not bust thru and splinter the glass. Sharp bits with light pressure works for me.

I've never drilled through glass and wood. But if I wanted precision, I'd probably go with a hole saw. After I  practiced on a sample, with masking tape also. Id keep trying different bits until I found what works best for me.

Yup .... I'm the  guy that doesn't cook masking tape on my limbs when laying them up,
But I do use masking tape for layout and drilling. Use a good sharp steel drill bit, and using a backing board is best.  Go slow using a drill press.

I also use a counter sink bit to to ease the edges on the holes after drilling them
