Trad bows and rain?

Your bow will be fine. Keep your feathers dry.

yeah thats the tricky part, i love pretty feathers but they get ruined every year, i do like the plastic feather ones, they are pretty durable but pretty ugly and plain

Bows okay in rain; feathers work better if dry. Point raised in an earlier thread about hunting in the rain mentioned fear of losing blood trail after the shot. Something to consider when pondering Arvin's sage advice above.

Speaking of Arvin: you need to get out of that teepee and go shoot the Traditional FSC Week 6 shot that's in honor of last weekend's traditional knapping, bow-building and 3D shooting event at Deb's and your place.
