I found out the hard way that the above is true.

We only use lube for arrows. Some targets on a 3D course are nasty for pulling arrows out of. A bit of Scorpion Venom at the front will do wonders.

I use a dry lube by Archoil called AR2400. Dries to a very thin very slick film in seconds.

lube is not needed, it's a personal choice. my thinking is that a rail being more slippery cannot hurt and if you choose to use a lube its best to stick with a dry lube as they will not attract dirt and grime like the oily lubes tend to do.......just my 2 cents
