Anyone know if under the freezing temperature it will affect my compound bow (https://lifeundersky.com/best-compound-bow-sights/) or strings

I want to keep it in my garage, but I do not want anything to become brittle im in utah it's 10 degrees in winter 100 degrees in summer

About the only thing you have to worry about is condensation causing rust. Used to store my bows in the attached unheated garage for around 25 years which wasn't quite as cold as the polebarn, but the last 8 years they've lived out the barn. The coldest it gets out here is near 30 below and over 100 plus the sun beating down on a steel roof. No issues on any of them in hard cases, but some in cloth cases got a little bit of rust on some of the screws. I always wax the string when it gets put away for a while and when it gets taken out if it looks fuzzy.
