Bow storage??
 

Hey guys I have a question, I bought a 08 DXT last year and I am leaving for 12 months(deployment to the middle east). And I was wondering what is the best way to store my bow for that long so it will be still in top form when I get back.

RE: Bow storage??
 

Well, I would think that if you were to back the poundage down a few pounds and hang it in a basement, or some other place that doesn't have too much temperature fluxuation, you'd be fine in doing so. I leave mine hanging up year-round in my basement and it has shown no ill effects.

But more importantly, God Bless, stay safe and THANK YOU for what you do!Semper Fi! Simp

Not sure but I am sure that a big thank you for what you do for our country is a definite! Good luck, be safe and thank you. Let us know when you get back.

Thanks for your service.....and keep your head down.

I'm getting ready to stick mine in the gun safe next Sunday and not touch it for 3+ months. I hope it'll be fine.....but I sure as heck ain't gonna miss it!

I'll wax the string .......and the safe's in the basement. I'm not planning on backing the poundage off, either.

Yessir .... thank you for your service my friend!!! May God keep you and I look forward to hearing from you on your return, Brian!!

First of all thanks for your service!!!

I have always backed down the poundage alittle before packing it away as well and have been doing so for about 12 years now.I haven't had any problems with it. I would wax the string though. I am not sure if backing off the poundage will help or not. It is just the way i have choose to do it though. I will be getting a new bow in the near future I hope. There is a big difference in the let off between what is out there now and what I got 12 years ago..

Thanks for all the words of encouragement and the help with my bow, I will try to get on here while down range, just to let you guys know how I am doing. I just pray that I am back in time to hunt some next year, planning on going to my uncles up in Kansas to hunt. You all take care.

Thanks for your service, much appreciated!
I would think that storing it in a gun case that long will be the safest bet to return to it just as you left it

RE: Bow storage??
 

I keep mine in my bow case in a closet during the off season. I have not had any issues with my bows.
Thanks for your service and be safe and good luck in Kansas next season.

RE: Bow storage??
 

I leave mine in the man cave upstairs in the case all year... should be fine, however you could back it down a bit...

First of all, there is now way that I could find the words to thank you and give you the respect that I feel for all you men and women serving and protecting all of us and our freedoms. As the son of an old Marine, I salute you sir!My prayer is that God will keep you and all our troops safe and out of harms way. I also hope that you make it home in time to hunt next season. I want you to know that if you ever decide that you would like to take a little hunting vacation and try and get a nice Ohio buck, you will be welcome to sit in any of my numerous stands in my hunting areas here. You just say the word.

RE: Bow storage??
 

Best of luck to you and thanks for your service!

Keep your bow at room temp with some string wax and it should be fine.
