Rusty hardware on Exocet

Has anyone else had the 4 black bolts that hold the limb dampers rusting? I always keep my bow inside, and they rusted after the first week of season.

Mine rusted also. I now make sure I put some oil on them.

WD-40 with a Q-Tip after the season works great.

I frequently wipe down ALL the exposed bolt & screw heads on my Phoenix with a good grade gun oil. And I also do it immediately if hunting in extremely humid conditions.
Never any rust problems for me using that method!

I noticed some rust on those bolts on Riley's Vortex. I guess it somes from putting it down in the snow and getting it wet and not drying it properly.
