Abstract: The invention is a lubricant intended primarily to facilitate removal of arrows from targets after shooting. The lubricant consists of approximately 70% silicone lubricant and 30% hexane. The lubricant is preferably applied using an applicator, which could be an elongated housing with a threaded hole in each end, having a threaded plug for each hole, the applicator having absorbent material holding the lubricant. Immediately before shooting, the archer removes one or both plugs, and thrusts the arrow into the absorbent material to the desired depth, so that the point and shaft of the arrow receive the lubricant. The arrow can then be easily removed from its target after shooting. A container with a dauber for dispensing lubricant can be provided, alternatively.
