I'm the one that started this tip.

I've been using baking soda in a sock in my bow case for 2 years now - the soda does not get in the cams - you guys are paranoid lol. You'll do more damage to your cams when you drag ur bow up in the tree by a rope than you will with baking soda dust. The wind will blow any residue away.

My tip was not just for the bow - when I get done hunting I put my gloves, hat, facemask, and trigger release in the bow case also. Keeps it all scent free. If ur afraid it will damage ur bow then use a plastic sack with the above said items then go see a psychiotrist lol.
