Man alive, I dont know why I need to turn norton COMPLETELY off to log into this place hence the reason I dont come around anymore. Too much crap to pick up with it off. I did see this though and thought I might jump in on it. What's the deal with this, so far no one has been able to give me a hand here (anywhere from no response to not sure), mod or admin.....

Yes a bow will be just fine. Some finish's dont do so well in extreme cold though you shouldn't have problems, I only know of two companys that have had this issue and both have figured things out (we think).

I will say I do draw my bow in the cold weather fairly often. Some of it's to keep the bow moving and not completely freeze (or deep freeze) and some of it's to keep myself limber enough to make the shot if one were to present itself. Lastly it's to make sure all of my bulky items are outta the way should a shot happen. I do shoot as much as possible more so in these conditions then any other time of year when possible, again to confirm I can even draw and nothing is getting in the way mainly but also to stay warmed up and in tune with how things are going to work so when the shot DOES someday happen again, it's second nature. My clothing starts off with fleece early season, goes to wool later in the season, then some serious layering under the wool as the merc really drops. Have hunted in over -40f (not sure the C difference), and so far so good. Some self nocks did split but I wasnt sure if it was from poor craftsmenship at the time or the cold. Some of my old mercury speed nocks also gave out. Both istances was shooting hares and all the arrows were 2nd's or beaters I keep on hand for grouse in the trees shots where recovery of arrows is around 50%.
