    I'm wondering if it's not good for your bow to stay inside your truck all day, especially when it's so hot out. Just wondering your thoughts....

    Min leave a window vented if you are in a safe area. but worry.
    But if you can take it inside if your boss is cool but other at work may not be. also some work places now have policies against weapons of anykind on there property.. just trowing it out there.

    my son took one of my old fender guitar and left it in his car after a show and the lac paint reacted with the heat and the red fur of the tweed case stuck to the guitar and to lighten the mood he told me it was now a ZZ top guitar.. I on the other hand am still mad to this day.

    It says in the Gibson Les Paul manual not to put you guitar anywhere you wouldn't want to be. I think this applies to all guitars and bows... anything you keep in a case.

    remember if u r in a high temp region, if its 90 out , it will be 110 in yer truck , i do think that will damage ur bow , bring it in, better safe than sorry , it has to affect the resins that bond the limbs ,as well as the strings good luc

    leaving bow in a hot vehicle or cold during the winter for an extended period of time is not a very good idea.

    I used to have my bow in the truck on a daily basis back in the days when i could hunt everyday after work. By the time the season rolled around the temps weren't that hot, and I could crack the window as well.
