    I am new to the compound bow world and live in the beautiful Northwest. However, with all this greenery comes the rain that wreaks havoc on gear, if you don't take care of it. I was wondering what folks on the forum do with their bows, when they come back in from the rain.

    Yep, I'll usually just dry it off with a cloth (those micro fiber car cloths work well), and wax every so often.
