I just had a morning hunt for does in Virginia's Urban Archery Doe Season. Due to the tropical storm coming through the area all my gear, bow, arrows quiver, are soaked. Is there anything I need to due other than just wiping them off and letting them dry? When I had a compund I used to oil up the fiction points and pray for no rust. Any tips would be welcome. Thanks.
My bow I only wipe off and let air dry. Unless you have a finish issue on the bow, no worries. All else dry like normal. Any leather let dry slow without adding heat.
Should be no issues.

Thanks. I was going to throw some heat on the quiver but I could see how that could be bad.
If you are shooting a take down bow ,you could remove limbs a let the felt dry.After it is dry use mink oil or camp dry or some sort of waterproof on the felt to help keep out the water next time.

Never use heat on wet wood or leather! Even if you think your bows finish is totally intact adding heat can take a no big deal chip in your finish and turn it into a warp! Heat + wet leather = Destruction of your leather gear.
