still disagree. It affects the player also to one degree or another. You cannot ignore the temperature as a factor. In fact, teams from the south have to factor that in when playing teams (NFL) from the north because they don't get much of chance to acclimate since they don't practice in temps of say, 7 degrees
You know this logic works for most of the population...Why because they listen to the media who hype the game and try to make it seem like the weather will effect the players. It doesn't, It effects the field, ball, etc... but not the players physical abilities.
It's interesting you used the NFL as your example and like I said to most who read your post might agree but there is one small problem....I played in the NFL and I know for a FACT that we never worried about our ability to perform in the cold. I played for Denver and the press would always hype it up about other teams having to play at our altitude, and John Q public ate it up! The reality of it was it did not effect anyone, but it sure sounded good on TV!
We were in great physical condition and the weather never played a role in our ability to perform especially the cold. The heat would sometimes effect players who did not take the steps to hydrate themselves properly (six P's) but again the press jumps all over the one or two guys who would cramp up and say "this weather is taking it's toll" instead of telling the truth and saying " That player didn't hydrate properly and that's why they are suffering"
Do you think an NFL trainer ever told a player who cramped up "it's ok...I know it's hot out there"? Think again.
Your idea that every bowhunter should simply take into account the temps and crank the weight down accordingly ignores a variety of factors and preferences. For example, if you are shooting mechanicals, you may need to keep the draw weight cranked up in order to maintain kinetic energy.
I addressed this already, if your weight is so high that the slightest of things will prevent you from drawing maybe you owe it to yourself and the quary you hunt to switch broadheads to something that will work at a weight you can pull back all the time and in any situation.
I use plenty of layers(including wool & down) but if I use your logic no one would ever freeze to death on Mt Everest either(or did they forget the 6 P's).
I propose that's exactly why they died, freak accident not withstanding
