hunting in the rain

[94sktr]

Gonna be hunting in the rain next wk. Was wondering if there is any extra precations i need to take with my bow? Oil for cam bearings ect? If so what oil?

Not really.
Cams on newer bows have sealed bearings.
Might make sure your string is waxed properly to avoid absorbing too much water.

Today's bows are built to take the elements.

Good question. Bookmarked to see answers.

As a matter of fact, dirt and dust is actually harder on things than rain.
When my bows get dust covered, I hang them outside and wash them with a water hose and simply let them air-dry.

Ok thanks rocky. I was thinking that on the dust and dirt but wasn't sure bout water.

Good to know

I put string wax on the heads of my bolts on my sight, etc. to help keep them from rusting.

Good advice on this thread. I've learned that water doesn't effect bows nearly as much as dust and dirt. As long as you let the bow dry off there really isn't much to worry about

I always take some Remington gun oil and wipe everything down. Keeps rust away

I love hunting in the rain. I usually just keep my string waxed good.

Extra socks! Leave em in the truck or bring em in a plastic bag ... with your TP.

Dead Down Wind makes some scent-free oil that works well to prevent rust. I also keep a small can of compressed air in my toolbox to blow out any moisture from hard to reach areas.
