Title: Truck Bow?
Post by: Mikewarren33 on February 09, 2016, 05:04:00 PM
Do bows exist that can live under the backseat of my truck in 110 degree heat without delaminating?
Doesn't have to be a great performer, just shoot arrows down range.

Kept in a cloth case and out of direct sunlight (which it would be under the back seat) and just about any bow will work.

I was told by a bowyer friend to let the bow cool down before stringing it when it has been in a super-heated vehicle.

You could look for an old Bear 76er. They had all fiberglass limbs and take down into a small package.

Cool, thanks for the input. I like the 76er.

My first curve was a 76er I bought new. Yall remember those days when a kid rode a bike pulling a lawnmower and got 7 bucks a yard? That's when I got my trad start. Mine was a green riser with brown limbs @ 45#. Tough bow I suppose I could have used it to paddle my canoe and beat briars.

Yepper on the 76'ers, that is my truck bow. Magnesium riser and glass limbs it's almost bullet proof
