Title: Bows in hot weather
Post by: huntnfmly on September 04, 2020, 09:01:49 PM: Hey guys looking for opinions on bows in back if truck. 1 of my daughters bows is in a soft case the other in a Plano type hard case.
We are heading to N.E Washington was going to put them in the cab of truck for trip due to the heat right idea or would they be ok in back of open truck bed?

Thank you and that's what I always heard but not sure what was considered too hot
