Don't know if this thread has covered the super slick lubs or not. But the jelly lub that were recommenend for new auto engines, Might work as a tip lub. I know for a fact that the blade of a flat screw driver could not be held verticle when"SLICK"<BR>
was put on the blade. I don't know about the travel down the shaft, though.<BR>

Polyethylene (ethafoam), on the other hand, is resistant to all solvents. Well, some of them will embrittle it if submerged in the solvent for long periods, but none can dissolve it or have much effect from merely leaving traces. Plus, the ones which can eventually damage it are mostly volatiles which evaporate quickly and wouldn't even stay applied to the arrow or target.<BR><BR>Oh yeah, on that previous note about the spiral-wound paper used in dart targets? Now that I think about it, the high-end targets use horizontal stacks of foam sheets, appear to be non-microcellular PE of a pretty high density IIRC. That is along the lines of getting the arrows to slide between sheets in a nondestructive way rather than tear a hole. It does seem like this would result in much less friction and stopping power though, so the material's stiffness would need to be higher to achieve high resistance again. The higher density material would be more resistant to damage too, which is always a plus.<BR><BR>Oznog<BR><BR>Susan McMahill wrote:

But if you put it on metal tips, it is not absorbed so will lubricate the tips and not damage the foam. Some lubricants might damage the foam.<BR> <BR>Lyneya<BR><BR><FONT face="Lucida Handwriting, Cursive">Well-behaved women Seldom make history - <FONT size=1>Laurel Thatcher Ulrich</FONT></FONT><BR><BR><BR> <BR>

Have been told that the mundane archers use Armor all for tires to lube their arrow so that they can pull them.<BR><BR>plachoya <BR>Ansteorra<BR><BR>

There is a lubricant that you can get for the arrow/bolt tips that will reduce this problem. You can also use car wax, I believe. I have used that for some of the ultra-tight grass mats that we have had. Cheap and easy to get and use. We have actually lost fewer tips in the foam butts than we did with the last set of grass ones we had here in the Steppes.<BR> <BR>Lyneya<BR><BR><FONT face="Lucida Handwriting, Cursive">Well-behaved women Seldom make history - <FONT size=1>Laurel Thatcher Ulrich</FONT></FONT><BR><BR><BR> <BR><BR>
