Title: Wood arrow/heat?
Post by: KOOK68 on June 06, 2012, 02:15:00 PM
Do ya'll think leaving wood arrows in a hot vehicle will warp them in any way? As in laying flat on the seat, no side ways pressure or tension. I know not to leave a bow, but curious about the arrows.

It shouldn't hurt in most cases, but there is always the exception and some woods are more finicky than others.  I'd avoid it if possible just to be safe.

I recently found a couple POC arrows under the back seat of my truck.  They'd been there for at least 2 years, but they were fine...

Put them in an arrow box. And in the house it aint worth the chance.

One time I left some in my truck and my hot melt got gooey enough you could pull the points off. I wouldn't leave them in if you are parked in the full sun.

They are POC. Never thought about the hot glue.
Guess my boss will just have to deal with me bringing a "weapon" on the premises. LOL
