If a spit patch works...

[ryoung14]

Why not a snot patch? I'm an old cooter and have more snot that spit. In fact blowing my nose for every shot would be no problem at all...do it anyway. The question is, however, how much is needed? Whatever the answer, I'm sure I have plenty...in endless supply.

Of course none of this is to condone the spreading of germs. If one has a cold or the flu or covid, a snot patch is not the best idea. Even Bore Butter would be better if that were the case.

When I lived in Indiana, the locals would often say the roads are "slicker that greased snot" after an ice storm. Maybe mixing some grease with the snot would yield a few more feet per second to the ball. But purists and those who wish to avoid the mess would probably stick with straight snot. Besides why clutter up the possibles bag with grease when the nose is a bottomless well?

Of course BP shooters are inveterate experimenters and if the snot patch caught on, hankies would take a serious beating. Shooters would be wrapping balls with red and blue patches lubed with warm shot, cold snot, dry snot and everything in between. In fact this just got so disgusting, I wouldn't blame Zonie if he deleted it.

Anyway, before someone gets all upset, this was meant to be funny and to inject some humor into the serious subject of traditional muzzleloading.

I put a precut patch in my mouth while I'm measuring and pouring the powder charge. It gets plenty soaked with spit in that amount of time. I suppose you could do the same by sticking that patch up your nose. It has definite possibilities for a double rifle.

Oh, you guys are too much!!

 

[D.Summers]

A double rifle!!

 

[necchi]

No,no,no,,(!)
Cat snot is much better, it's rare and hard to find. But when mixed with fermented possum squeeze-in's and toad sweat,
,stuff is slicker than an oiled otter on a water slide!

Skunk spray takes some shifting, that's what you need in your barrels.
You'll need one of these to extract the gland.
Good luck.

I see the possibility of left nostril patches shooting to a different point of impact than right nostril patches............

Don’t worry about spreading germs…the flames and hot gases will destroy them all before they leave the barrel! LOL

 

[rafterob]

Humorous maybe, but I would think it would be a great lube. Just don't let it dry in the barrel or you will be picking boogers out of it.

Spit is a more consistent liquid than snot. Patch lubricants are less finicky than we sometimes think, otherwise how come we have so many "best" patch lubricants of various formulae. I think I would recommend spit over snot.

you know that when that you runout of spit you also run out of lead in your pencil? and iffen all the cloth that you have to patch with is a stiff old snot rag go ahead & use it! the only one that will know is you & GOD!

Well If you have to much you could always store the excess in a jar. Then take that to the range i guess.

 

[Daveboone]

I am thinking probably touching off a snot patch round would do a pretty good job of sterilizing it....much better than just dropping it in a can.

 

[Woody Morgan]

Snot patches won't work for liberals. It'd be quite a trick getting your head and hand up there at the same time.

So, would you be shooting M.O.S. (“Minute of Snot”)?

Appears that boogers in the said lube when fresh, would induce unpredictable errors into the trajectory of the ball. No buggers in spit.

Why not go with the most produced bodily fluids.... that couldn't be any more disgusting than the Snot patch.
A pocket full of yellow patches... or on the other end you get double use of the patch material. Is it April 1st already?

Because a snot patch is just a tad shy of becoming a booger patch and that would likely make a barrel obstruction and blow you up !

Why not a snot patch?

Pretty sure it’s illegal due to Covid protocols, and you’ll have to return your Covid stimulus funds.
