if you are going to be in a blind then you would be ok..if out stalking and such, try to keep your bow dry and not get ice buildup on your cams or string.other than that you should be just fine

you will be just fine. It will not be cold enough to afect your bow. it needs to be in the extreme below zero before you will see a change. I have been on hunts in the arctic and have not seen change till around 20 below. but if you are going to be in sub zero weather then try not to bing your bow into a warm area leave it in the cold so there is no hot and cold stress.   good luck
work hard and reap the reward or dont and get left behind!!!

The temp is going to be below freezing.  So don't get your bow wet when walking.  One time I tried pulling my bow back and it didn't move.  2nd try and still didn't move, but I did see ice dropping from the string/cams.  3rd try and I was able to pull it back.
