Quick Answer
Properly clean and dry your arrow rest before storing it to prevent rust, then apply a thin layer of silicone-based lubricant to protect it from corrosion during the off-season.
Pre-Storage Preparation
Before storing your arrow rest, make sure it’s free from debris and moisture. Use a soft-bristled brush to gently sweep away any dirt, dust, or loose fibers. Next, use a clean, dry cloth to wipe down the arrow rest, paying extra attention to any areas with moving parts.
Storage Techniques
Store your arrow rest in a dry, cool environment, away from direct sunlight and moisture. If you plan to store it in a case, consider investing in a foam-lined case to cushion the arrow rest and prevent it from shifting during transport. If you don’t have a case, wrap the arrow rest in a soft cloth or paper towel to protect it from scratches and damage.
Maintenance and Inspection
When inspecting your arrow rest after storage, look for any signs of rust or corrosion. If you notice any issues, use a soft-bristled brush to remove loose debris and apply a silicone-based lubricant to protect the affected areas. To prevent rust from forming in the first place, consider applying a thin layer of lubricant to your arrow rest before storing it. This will help protect the metal from corrosion and keep your arrow rest in good working condition.
