Is it bad to shoot a bow in cold weather?
Josh from WI asks: Hey Bill, I was just wondering if you thought that it is bad to shoot bows in the cold very often? I shot mine all winter long and it developed a cracked/peeling limb!I was just wondering if me shooting it all winter would have done that!! Winke Responds: Josh, It may have had some affect, but fiberglass should be good well below zero without losing its properties. I have shot my bows in some pretty nasty conditions. It is more likely just a defect in the limb. I would call the warranty department of the manufacturer and see what they have to say about that one. I bet it is just a bad limb. Good luck. Update: I contacted a friend at Hoyt and he said that there is no minimum temperature limit on their bow limbs. So unless other companies are different, you likely just have a faulty limb.
