What is the proper way to store/maintain a bow during/after the season? I have a Mathews Switchback. Besides keeping the strings waxed what else should I do?

Store it in a good case in a warm, dry place. Not a HOT place mind you.....Bad things happen. Don't put it up too far though, you still need to practice in the offseason, perhaps participate in some 3D shoots or a 5 spot league....

wax the string and and wipe it down once in a while
I recommend keeping oil away from a bow because if you get oil on a bow string especially around the servings it will cause the servings to seperate.
