First BigJ12, you need to chill dude. We're just talkin' here, my friend, no need to get wound up
I'm not wound up, it may have come across that way but I'm fine.

Cold has a different effect on different people (which accounts for some of the smartass, macho repsonses on this thread). It can have quite an effect on even highly trained athletes for example, causing their performance to suffer and break down.

What the heck are you talking about????

I have played in the coldest of temps and NEVER did it effect my ability to run, hitor perform anyphysical task. The only thing it didwas make it harder for the recievers to catch and the rest of us to get traction.
Your 2nd sentence of the 2nd quote answers the 1st sentence of the 1st quote and contradicts your statement of "What the heck are you talking about" [&:]
You obviously never played football in below freezing temps. It's not the player that it effects it's the football. It feels like a brick thus harder to catch.....no contradiction here.



You guys are missing my point. As a bow hunter you are responsible for your equipment. No one expects to kill a deer in the first 1/2 hour of getting in their stand...it would be nice but we all know it just dosen't happen. So knowing that we might need to spend hours in the stand in cold weather why would you have your bow weight so high that due to the cold, fatigue, bulky clothes,ORWHATEVER, you can't draw it back?

If your bows were turned down to a more reasonable level for the conditions (yours included) NONE of you would ever experience this problem, peroid.

Bottom line, if your bow's draw weight is set to an amount so high that something like what's listed above prohibits you from drawing it back you are indeed overbowed.
