Congrats on getting a shooter with your first bow! Looks great ! Porfessional quality finish work you've done there. Like K-hat said , Hickory doesn't care much for moist climates . Likely the reason for the bit of set it took on you. Might have robbed some performance , but should treat you well for a long time. Heat treat and trapped back for hickory is good policy for moist climates. I'm sure this wont be your last. Once again , great job!
