String and Rig Tolerances

[loki]

So I wonder with our lovely stick and string extended season; what are the limitations of the hunting bow for temperature and weather?

I assume something like +40 to -15 celcius?

loki I my self have been able to kill 2 deer one @ 31 deg no problems and another one at -17 . I know a friend of my killed a buffalo at -42 in pink mtn. I don't realy think there is a temp limit on the bow just the hunter . As it gets colder the harder it is to pull your bow . One reason is your musles are not warm so they tighten up . So if you hunt in the cold try to stay warm or turn your bow down . I once had a 140 class whitetail walk under my stand in rock creek & I could not pull my bow back -21 I had sat for 3 hours .Thats just hunting.

X 2 for what calvin L said. The only limitations are the ones you impose on yourself.
