Cooler temp/flatter bow?
We had a cool front come through yesterday. The temps are about 25 degrees cooler than they have been, from about 95 to about 70. I was able to use my 20 yard pin out to 30 and my 30 out to 40. Do cooler temps make the bow parts contract enough to make that much difference?? It sure shot much flatter than it has been. I shoot almost every day so I am very familiar witht the way my bow shoots.

RE: Cooler temp/flatter bow?
Thanks for the input. It just felt like the draw was a little tigher and the arrows flew much better. I also had a hard crosswind that didn' t seem to affect the arrow nearly as bad as it usally does.
My bow is a Browning with a lot of cable system. Can' t remember the exact model. I thought maybe it would be affected more.
I thought about the peep moving. I don' t think this is the case. I know my sights didn' t move. The arrow just seemed to have more pop to it. Maybe I am just getting better at shooting.

OKAY OKAY!
You were right. My peep did move. The pro shop didn' t have it tied in place very well. I moved it back to were it was, and it shoots just like it did before. Sorry I doubted you guys.
