Got a Real World Weapons or Armour Question? Mk XII

[Telok]

Sorry, let me clarify. I'm less concerned with how they work in the cold (quite well, as we see) and more of what happens if you take a bow made in a very warm place to the gold, or for that matter try to take one of the Inuit bows mentioned to something like the Sahara. It's the change in temperature that I'm wondering about, not the temperature itself.

You can acually test this at home relatively easily. Gather information on glue and make a couple simple ones in your kitchen. Stick some bits together and put half of them in your refrigerator and half by your boiler or heater (be sure to keep a couple out for your coltrol group). Let the bits cure for a week or two and then switch them around. After another week or something take them out and test them.

You can check this out. And it might not be the temperature so much as the humidity that limits your bow.
