[Ansteorra-archery] Target questions

Typically archers here use a silicone lube (comes in a foam-tipped squeeze
tube like a Bingo blotter). It lubricates going into the "ceiling tile" type
butts, as well as dense urethane 3D targets. I have used silicone spray to
water proof my feathers, but it will attack some paints. No effect on my
clearcoat. Some arrows are still slick after a month of shooting.

Armorall would probably be wiped off the points in one or two shots. Same
with soap, works, but not for long.
