You may be crazy Pearly, don't know 'bout that part ;D! But it's not the humidity, it's the heat. Pretty common to lose 3-4 # from your bows when the temps get in the 80's and 90's. Only bow that I've tested that didn't lose any weight during the summer months is Ipe...........Art

Okay Artsy, I agree Im crazy regardless of what my issue was! It was close to 100% humidity and about 90-95 degree temps, plain miserable for a northern boy...............

A few more degrees there Pearly and you could have done a little heat straightening if'n you a need to ;D. When it gets that hot, you can can actually feel a slight tiller shift if the bow has a positive tiller. Feels like he upper limb gets just a tad weaker. You notice that? Art

Pearl here in SC it has been 98-102 degrees with above 90% humidity for a week with no change in sight My bows seem to be just fine but my lard ass sure is dragging ;D so maybe I can't tell the difference.

Feel free to send me some of that Texas Gold George! I would be more than happy to give it a try. I didnt feel the tiller change in my bow hand. Just a crappy shooting, loud bow reared its head. The wetaher has calmed down now. I plan on shooting tonite after work and see what happens. I put the bow back in my shop were its dry and cool. It should be close to where it was I hope. I guess I wont be taking that Brazilian rain forest hunt after all!
