Default RE: Bow inside truck all day?

Just a little info for the"it ain't that hot" folks.
A 1995 study from the Journal of the Louisiana Medical Society measured the change in temperature that occured in the interior of a parked car, with its windows cracked, on an 85 degree day.The results were as follows,within 15 minutes the temperature had climbed to 113 degrees. After an hour it reached160 degrees. It will be worse on hotter days.
Leave your kids,pets or laminated archery products in there and expect serious repercussions. Glues usually start to soften and then separatearound 150 degrees.
