I live in Caribou Maine and we have the same extreme temps. I have a diamondback venom longbow and I have never had a problem in the cold .This will be my 3rd season with my bow no cracks or breaks. I am out at least twice a week hunting or stump shooting. Go out and enjoy

By yes, I mean "yes you can hunt in those temps."

I don't hunt in those temperatures anymore, but I did when I was younger and never had a bow fail on me.

Just be glad that You are NOT using a compound with inclement weather. Remember seeing a letter to editor ( Outdoor Life?) 2 bow hunters. 1 Compound and the other simple stick. Weather turned messy with rain and sleet falling. The compound archer went to draw on something and the mechanical stuff on his bow HAD FROZEN UP! I won't say that something like that wouldn't happen on a stick but far more likely to happen on a wheelie bow if You have rain / sleet falling and freezing temps. BE CAREFUL OUT THERE! Batman

holezone, the Byrd Expedition II took selfbows to Antarctica in the 1930's for exercise for the men. They were stored outside the living area in temps of that range and greater, and they were used. They didn't have any breakage during that event, so it is told. There is an article about it in Ye Sylvan Archer from that time.

I don't go out much when the temp drops below 20F. I never go out in the minus zero temps, as I find the animals are not moving. No problems with bows, but I've found the old, beige brush buttons freeze and get noisy.

If it's too cold or too hot for your bow, it is much too cold or too hot for you to be out in the first place. Enjoy.
