scent elimination/baking soda
 

somebody on here said that they put baking soda in their bow case to eliminate any scent on their bow. i am wondering exactly what you do. [like put baking soda in a plastic bag and then leave it open so the baking soda absorbs the scents] i am going to use this to put in my backpack to eliminate any scents in my gear and the same for my bow case.

Just pour it into a clean sock and tie the end shut. It will soak up the odors through the sock.

I would not put baking soda in your bow case. Might damage your bow.
I would just consentrate on your odor like clothes, hat, gloves, boots,
etc.

I wouldn't want powder getting in my cam and axels.

I wash my huntin clothes in baking soda and hang them outside to dry,then keep them in a Rubbermaid container with a tight fitting lid and have a sock with baking soda in it in there as well.
I also use baking soda on myself after showering before a hunt.....arm pits and dump some in my shorts!:D
I do not own any scent containment clothing,but play the wind as carefully as I can!
4 P&Y class whitetails says baking soda works pretty well!;)

I'm the one that started this tip.

I've been using baking soda in a sock in my bow case for 2 years now - the soda does not get in the cams - you guys are paranoid lol. You'll do more damage to your cams when you drag ur bow up in the tree by a rope than you will with baking soda dust. The wind will blow any residue away.

My tip was not just for the bow - when I get done hunting I put my gloves, hat, facemask, and trigger release in the bow case also. Keeps it all scent free. If ur afraid it will damage ur bow then use a plastic sack with the above said items then go see a psychiotrist lol.

do you need to throw the baking soda away after a while and get new stuff, or does it keep working?

RE: scent elimination/baking soda
 

i dont think the baking soda will spoil

Get the scent free baby wipes and wipe your bow and equipment down when you are ready to use it.

Most odor absorbent substances do just that, they "absorb," they do not filter. Therefore, the substance will "fill" faster than when filtering, and will no longer absorb. How soon the "filling" occurs will depend on the type of odors and duration of exposure.

I have heard some good things about this substance under household use, and it comes in dispensable packets. I have not used the product. Maybe someone here has used the product and can attest to its efficiency.
