Yes.  Looks like they showed weakening after being kept in overly moist or extremely hot and dry conditions for over a month.

 They then tested the samples without allowing them to change at all.

 I'd be curious to know if strength would rise in the 150f samples if they were allowed to regain some moisture.  They must have been near 0%.

 Moral is don't leave your bow in the car for a month straight at 150f.

 Otherwise, your bow will be fine.

StickMark,, I have found painting the whole bow,, so there are no edges for moisture to get in,, seems to resist rain storms even in warmer conditions,,
