Default Snow thoughts

As I sit here in front of my computer and watch it snowing, which is very unusual for Nov 21stin my neck of the woods,I was thinking about how it collects, and could freezeon the cams and other parts of a bow (peep,sight pins)which could affect performence. I'd like to hear of any steps/preventitive measures that you mighttakewhen hunting in snowy conditions?I guess me going to Albertatomorrow has something to do with this thread.

1st of all, good luck out there bud!!!

I've never had that problem back when I shot compound. I just made sure all the snow was clear of my peep sight and pins. I would also pull It back here and there so no Ice would build up anywhere.

I have no idea of how to help, but I'm pumped for you buddy. I say, wax up your strings real good before you pack and head out.

Best of luck.

Put your stand in a pine tree![8D]

If thats not do-able, then id just keep a good eye on it, pull it back every hour or so to keep ice off the cams, and wax on!
