I know this is going to sound crazy but… As civilized humans we use lubricants in many situations (heck, we did before we became “civilized”). I have been using Scorpion Venom arrow lubricant for some time on field tipped arrows shot into my American Whitetail target (suggested by the target manufacturer). It has good staying power and the arrows can be re-shot between lubrications. I was wondering if penetration on live game could be improved by using a similar lubricant. I know, I know, sharper is better and a high mechanical advantaged blade is even better but there is this question that keeps bugging me. I think it would make for interesting testing. Maybe a good idea for a new spray on product?
Im not the smartest but, i don't think that your shaft gets much contact when passing through a animal, IMHO i think that the fletching make way more of a difference then the arrow shaft does. But both of these are very minimal.
I agree,cuz once the broadhead does it thing, the shaft has little to no resistence....think your thinkng about it too much :D
As slick as the insides of a deer are when I'm field dressing it leads me to believe there is plenty of lubricant present in the target!
