Default Will spray air hurt my bow?

I was wondering if the spray air you get in a can would hurt my compound bow? I just ordered a Bear Kodiak Magnum recurve bow and heard that the ole' compound will get dusty. Would spraying air to clean my compound hurt it?

dont shake it up so that it freezes the surface. Ya know what I mean? If you shake that can of condensed air, it will freeze what ever comes into contact with the stream. It may cause some damage. A buddy of mine did that, sprayed his bare skin, got a pretty nasty burn from it.

Yea, I found that out too. Don't grab the straw because it sometimes comes off!

That's not air in the can. It's chemicals that I wouldn't want on my bow. Just put your compound in a case. It won't get dusty. If it does, wipe it off.

Really? The ones that say compressed air? Never took the time to read the ingredients on one before. Go figure.

Acutally I just posted this post as a post telling everyone that I just ordered my Bear recurve bow.

Zak, you've just barely started with a compound and now you're going into traditional gear?

Yep. People have died from messing around and inhaling it like it was air. It's some bad stuff.
