No it wont hurt it. Just make sure you dry it completely when you get done. Don' t put it in a case until you are sure it is completely dry. You get the inside of a case wet and it takes forever to dry out, leaving the bow in a damp environment like that would not be good for it.

Well no, you should always soak your bow down before you shoot it. It says to never dry fire. Stupid joke, and old, but couldnt resist. lol

Definetly not going to hurt the bow, just dry it off good when you are done. If you are shooting feathers try to keep them dry with a wrap of some sort. I was always worried about that when I shot feathers, no problems with vanes.

Good Luck!

You can either hit the arrow on your leg to knock off the rain........or just shoot em. As soon as the arrow takes off all the moisture will fly off.

I don' t even worry about it.
