Bow in the Rain
It started raining around 10 AM while I was in my stand. I got down and walked to my car. Both me and my bow are drenched.
Should I just wipe down my bow? Or should I utilize some WD40?

RE: Bow in the Rain
When I get home after a rainy day of hunting I will just wipe down my bow real good and use a blow dryer in all the nooks and crannys to get the water out.My strings are usually in pretty good shape as I keep my strings nicely waxed.I personally dont use WD40 on my bow as it "STINKS"

RE: Bow in the Rain
Like 33 said, dry it off and wax the string. If your really worried about it, get yourself some light weight oil like reel oil and oil apply a thin coat on the metal parts.
They sell special "scent free" bow oil but the choice is yours.
