Your stinky bow
i got to thinkin today when i saw a comercial for some scent eliminator that contains silver and it showed the guy in a stand and he was "invisible" but his bow wasnt. i was wonderin if any of you do anything to eliminate any scent on your bows. i know some of you spend hundreds of dollars to keep from smellin, but ever think about your bows?

RE: Your stinky bow
I spray my bow and the interior of my bow case down with scent eliminator prior to the season.
I also spray them both down periodicially with dirt cover scent just in case. I don't think our bows hold odor the way clothing or skin does, but I still spray it down.

RE: Your stinky bow
I spray my bow each time I hunt. I also keep a sock full of baking soda in the case. I figure if it works in the fridge to soak up odors it will work in my case,

RE: Your stinky bow
I spray mine down between hunting trips.
I've read in the past that the no-scent spray can remove the paint, so watch it.
I also keep an earth scent disc in my case, my bows stink like dirt
.
It really soaks into the camo moleskin & string/cable.

RE: Your stinky bow
I spray my bow every time I go into the woods, also keep a fresh earth disk in my case.
Mauser, I had the same set of strings and cables for 2 years.Each year spending about 30 days in the deer woods, this doesn't include the hog, turkey (obviously didn't spray for turkeys), 3d and other shooting. Never had any problems and my razortec still shoots like a dream. I don't think it causes any problems, but JMHO.
