Well, we survived a house fire. Our dryer caught fire and destroyed our utility room and garage. There is extensive smoke damage to the rest of the house. Praise God no one was hurt and the house is not a total loss. My question is about my bow. It was in the master closet on the complete opposite side of the house. There was not any intense heat there so I’m not worried about that. What I’m wondering is about all the black soot on everything including the bow. Is it good to just wipe down and keep shooting?

You could never even come remotely close yo paying enough premium on a policy if you have a fire and yet they are there when it happens...every day
Pay your house off then drop the policy and see if you can sleep good knowing that it the worst happens your out of pocket a few hundred grand

I feel like there is some missing info here.

My guns were not damaged by heat, but the smoke made them rust. all my hand tools rusted also. Gunsmith told me the smoke takes the oil out of the metal, causing the rust. I'd take it to a shop and get it taken apart, cleaned and re-lubed.
Also, my insurance company didn't screw me over, very helpful and more than fair

I clean them and you would not believe how much lint can collect in a vent pipe
