I havnt really noticed any performance issues but im no expert. i did notice however that if its really cold and you go to draw for the first time sometimes to bow makes a crack noise sometimes. And it gets harder to draw when its really cold. So might wanna lower ur poundage jsut a few
What Doc said. I think you'll find that the strings are more affected by extreme temperature changes than the bow itself. That's why good strings are a must.

It affects the hunter more than the bow. I've never seen a difference in how the bow shoots just from being cold but adding heavy jackets, gloves,balaclavas, neck gators...all change how the bow is anchored and therefore, the point of impact. Be sure to practice with the actual clothes that you'll be wearing and if you're consistantly hunting in cold weather you may want to consider dropping 1/2" and 5#'sof draw from what you would typically shoot in warmer temp.'s.
I was pulling 58 LB, but I backed it off to 53 LB last weekend.
I well remember not being able to draw my bow one cold day years ago.[:@]
