A well "oiled?" killing machine.
 
I saw a post on issues with rust the other day... well I dont know about you but the oil i would use would be gun oil?? well it deffinately has an odor... so what do you do? Have a rusty bow or a stinky bow? Is there a solution? or a middle ground? Im open to all suggestions.

try mineral oil. Its used in meat shops for equipment and has no odor.

When I got my bow back from the shop it had an oil on all bolts. IT had no odor I could smell or taste.

Mineral oil sounds like an OK idea but im not sure how well it will protect??

The only thing on a bow that can rust is something made of steel. Same as anything else. On a bow that means the bolts or screws that hold modules or accessories. Bolt and screw threads are easy enough. A tbe of teflon goop used for pipe threads takes care of them. Even bowstring wax works. As for the tops or heads of those bolts? Who cares? It's not worth worrying about. It's just cosmetic. They rust sooner or later no matter what you put on them.

a company called bucks-n-does make attractant and cover scents.they also make an unscented oil specifically for use on bows(maybe just mineral oil, I.D.K!).as for the last post, the pins which hold the cams on your bow are also steel,and they are a moving part! I care ALOT about any part of my bow getting rusty!!!! but I guess that's the difference between a $300 martin bow and a $1200 mathewssetup!!!! good luck hunting:D
