Rail lube - yes or no?

[Honestjohn]

I shoot a Excaliber Exquinox and was wondering if you use rail lubrication, if so which brand, or not? I use the heavier string serving and have been using Scorpion Venom rail lube. I am torn as my serving seems to wear out fairly quickly and I have two buddies who have the same set up as me and never use any rail lube and have no issues. Appreciate your inputs!

almost always or else chafing starts

sorry I really had no input just thought it was a funny thread title. What part of Central PA you from? I grew up in blair county, Hollidaysburg to be specific. Hunted 4A and 4D and 2C.

I have a Horton and use Horton rail lube. I have had no serving issues.

Yea, I was giggling when I wrote it, but it is what it's called, . I live in York, county and mainly hunt in OH and MD, although I have scored a few small properties locally to hunt in Pa now. Moved out here from Philly/S. jersey... Thanks.

Wow York pa to ohio that's some distance lol I lived in Bethesda md last summer and saw these bachelors hanging out in a doctors parking lot at 3pm downtown Bethesda.

I use Scorpion Venon myself and have had no problems. I lube the serving good and the rail. Expensive, but a bottle will last you forever.

I use the ten point rail lube (grease) your serving will have about a half life not using a lubricant weather oil or grease.... If you're burning through a serving using lube fairly quickly in my opinion something's out of adjustment...

Wow - they can get age when you can't hunt em! Well, I was hunting in northern Wisconsin for 13 years, so driving to Ohio is a piece of cake. The deer are worth it!!

Thanks for the replies all... I think I will use the Scorpion and perhaps more often.
