This is why I'd like to figure it out. If a hickory bow can loose 4# without a moisture issue, what would it be with a moisture issue, or is it still just a wood issue.


As I keep saying, I don't believe this is moisture related. Some of the bow have been in my shop for months and since it's been raining sometimes, several of the test scenarios never left the shop and even going outside, moisture isn't going to affect wood in the few minutes it take to shoot a dozen or a few dozen arrows.
Tell that to hickory down south and it will prove you wrong..gut

You can find opinions that say a days shooting in higher humidity will affect it and opinions that say you can hunt a week in the rain and not have an affect.
