So I was supposed to get in a hog hunt Sunday afternoon as a final prep for opening day of archery season (9/11 here in GA). I was down in far NE FL in northern Nassau County on my brother's lease (Rayonier timberland called the McQueen Swamp, as I recall). So we get to the stand around 530p (hogs have been showing up around feeder around 710-725p). Hang another stand slightly above and to the right of the first one so my brother can videotape my hunt. He's torn his rotator cuff and can't draw a bow (and will very likely be videotaping my opening day deer hunt as well). We get the second stand hung, get comfortably perched in the tree (about 25' up), and I decide to try a Rocket expandable instead of our standard Muzzy 3-blades. I get my bow hung up, and we start whispering about how the Thermacell is really starting to work. Then the sky fell. Had to be raining 3"+ per hour. Luckily I had stashed a poncho in a side pocket but my bro had nothing. I tried to cover me and the camera and we both got wet. We were going to sit it out (we were already soaked to the bone at this point) and lightening struck nearby. I don't mind a little rain, but lightnin' has to be dealt with gingerly. We were out of the tree in about 5 seconds and headed back to camp. I dried my bow off as quickly and thoroughly as possible. There was some sand on the bow as well. Now what to do? My bow seems to be no worse for the wear...

Thoughts? Ideas? I'm flingin' arrows so well right now (errr, just prior to the soaking) that I'm reticent to monkey with much.
