It depends on a lot of things, like whether your car is in the sun, whether you have tinted windows,
if it is in a bow case, etc.

I'm sure most people have had things melt in their car. A good while back, my wife had a videotape of
her skydiving with a prior boyfried get completely melted on the back dash, and I can't say I was sorry. [8D]

Segue aside, at least put it in the trunk or where there is no direct sunlight on it, that's what will cook it.

This is why I love this site, because this is a question I was wondering and now I have an answer. I was just talking to a buddy last week and we were pondering the effects on leaving a bow in extreme heat if it's 94 degrees out side it's probably 150 degrees in your vehicle. We came up with the conclusion that it would be no good to leave something in your car all day under those temperatures.

I sometimes bring my bow to work to bring it to the pro shop at lunch time and leave in a hard plastic case in my car trunk or back seat. If it's very warm out like you described, I will put a towel over the case with several ice packs from the freezer spread out over it and then another towel. I have felt the bow after leaving all day and it is not warm at all so this method works. My wife thinks this is amusing, but it doesn't take much effort and it protects the bow.

Chucker, you are a man after my own heart. You treat your bow like it is something special because it is. As far as the group of respondents wondering about cased vs uncased or the guy that has his bow in the storage unit,think about it. Storage units get incredibly hot unless they are air conditioned. And, a bow gets just as hot inside a case as it does outside the case. Again, heat will stretch strings and cables and it is very hard on you limbs.
