Anybody have any special routines they go through after hunting in the snow and or rain with their bow's? Any special lube or cleaners or .......... Share your thoughts.
Nope, nothing special. I was in the rain yesterday a couple different times but when I got back to the van the bow went into it's little shelf, the quiver to its shelf and they are still there LOL. I'll probably bring them into the house tonight because I will likely shoot a few arrows after work. Throughout the season I check the allen screws/bolts for signs of rust and will clean them and use a dab of oil but other than that I don't really worry about water on the bow.
When I get back to the main boat after a skiff ride on sal****er ( that's salt water ) I rinse my bow off in the shower. Otherwise just be sure that you keep your string and cables well waxed so that they don't pick up any water and you should be good, so long as things don't freeze on you... If you're in wet and freezing conditions be sure that your drop away rest and release jaws don't freeze up. I just keep moving mine around. I also lubricate them with a dry graphite powder lube throughout the year.
If I know i'm going to be in the rain I'll wax my string and cables the night before. Other than that - I don't do much. If the bow is dripping wet i'll wipe off as much as I can then store it in my case with the lid propped open so it can air dry.
