RE: Keeping Bow Dry
Yep, wax the string and wipe down the bow when you get home. I know people that bow fish with thiers and just drop the bow right in the water when they hit one.
I don't hunt in the rain, but I do shoot a lot in the rain and snow. Doesn't seem to hurt anything on my bows.
Honestly direct sunlight is worse on a bow than water is.
