    This is really important though. When I got my first crossbow I had no clue what the hell I was doing. And I blew my first string out after 30-40 shots. All because I didn't lube the rail. Hope more people catch on to how the lube properly. Thanks for the video man

    I'm shooting an Excalibur recurve, Matrix 380 .....
    ..... N0 Cams, N0 wheels, N0 Cables, N0 sliders, N0 oiling the trigger N0 lubricating the rail. An occasional touch of wax on the string is all the required toʻ transfeŕ sufficient lube to the rail.
    You can also change your own string in the field without a bow press IF ... it accidentally gets knicked

    Hello, I have a question that I would like to ask you. I tightened the main bolt connecting the bow head of the barnett XP380 in winter, will it damage the components due to expansion in summer?I screwed it very, very tight, so I wonder if thermal expansion will affect the parts

    Thanks Dave! Do you use different type rail lube in different weather conditions, like below zero conditions?

    • @KnettersPracticalOutdoors
      @KnettersPracticalOutdoors  Год назад

      I never have, but you're right things are different at colder temps. Might be a good idea to for sure use an oil based lube on the rail instead of a wax based lube in real cold temps. Both are considered good options by most manufacturers.

  • @imprez_cracked9135
    @imprez_cracked9135 2 года назад +1

    so I have been doing research and some people say to put in on the middle and some say you don't have too because of the barrel lube.
    Also were the cams are I mean there is wax on there would it hurt to put a little if it starts to dry up?

    • @KnettersPracticalOutdoors
      @KnettersPracticalOutdoors  2 года назад

      Yes, I know what you're saying. I think the fear for recommending those ideas would be that some would over lube.

  • @deltacx1059
    @deltacx1059 8 дней назад

    The thing is all of these bows are the same type of load and not even a super harsh load at that when you compare it to what most lubricants are used for. So unless im missing something you could use so many different oils for this application, something that wont flow off easy qnd has a high film strength would be pretty ideal but i dont see a reason you couldn't use graphite based lubricant either as long as the lubricant you pick doesn't react with your string material or your rail.
    Smell could be a factor when hunting.

    Been enjoying all your fall series videos. I purchased a Barnett Black Cat last season and love it. Very simple recurve model. I use the bow wax on the strings and for the rails I spray silicone on a shop rag and wipe them down. Seems to work well. Loved the Promiscuous Doe Segment! Dave were you on a couple Spotted Cows or was that all natural? Best of luck to your camp this season!

    I have a question, on my barnett explorer xp370 my string is fading where the cables meet where usually the slide guide is. I put wax now every 7 shots like my local shop said where a slide guide would usually be but still fading more where the cords get friction. And every 15 shots on the reg string like barnett suggest.

      @mr.stirfry9310 2 месяца назад

      It is 9 months old, shot maybe 70 times. Took a doe last season with it and plan to change it out next season. Going to put maybe 20 more shots out of it this year.

      Never really noticed maybe because I try to keep the rail lubed all the time. I guess it does add a few FPS compared to a dry rail though from what I've been told.

    • @arbyjack2552
      @arbyjack2552 2 года назад +2

      I think kerosene would eat the material on the rail. At least discolor it. I would NOT use it.

    • @KnettersPracticalOutdoors
      @KnettersPracticalOutdoors  2 года назад +1

      I would stick to the light oil or light wax they recommend.

    • @disband_thebbc5933
      @disband_thebbc5933 Год назад +1

      I definitely wouldn't recommend kerosene as it's corrosive. Most of the rail lubes are silicone disulfide oil based some have added PTFE for friction reduction, you can find silicone disulfide based oil for treadmills much cheaper. You can make a paste wax for the string and cables with bees wax and coconut oil. However if you are still covered by the warranty it's advisable to stick to the recommended lubricants and maintenance schedule.
