I have used the same scale for a couple years. New batteries and all. My vine maple bow pulls 54 in the summer. In the January cold, it pulls 66 lbs. FROM MY 2018-2019 NOTES:  "August 13, temp 72 f. 54 lbs. @ 28. Humidity 56%.   January 11, 2019 temp. -18f. 66 lbs. @ 28.  Humidity 18% . ". Bow has no backing.   Hits like a hammer though!  Worry not.





Go forth. Produce food. Loose and lose arrows. enjoy nature all year around.

You know, a person could do a lot worse than that for a life-motto.
