Toss it in the back of my truck. ;)

I've never really worried about it.

I figure they are metal or some sort of composite so how stinky can they get. Its not like I bathe the thing in WD-40 or anything. If a deer smells my bow, then I would have to say I was close enough to kill it in the first place.

I hear ya OHBOW76 but this year I decided if I was going to get myself as scent free as possible I was going to go all the way.

The only things that may hold scent on your bow are the string/cables and your wrist sling. I take a papertowel and spray it with scent elimination spray of sometype and wipe it in.

I just spray my bow and arrows right before heading into the woods,I will put my fanny pack and stool right next to my bow and give them all a good bath with scent away spray before heading in the woods thats about all i do.

I do spray my seat or stool if I am huntign off the ground. I just dont feel it necessary at this time to spray down my bow.

I always spray my bow down before a hunt.I shoot year round and sweat alot in hot weather.also think about how much scent gets on your release.If you have a fleece wrist strap like i do it also holds alot of scent.
