As I mentioned before, I use "spit" when competition shoot'n, and a bear-oil/bee's-wax mix for lube when I hunt!!

Have you ever got confused and stuck a bear-oil/bee's-wax mixture lubed patch in your mouth to apply spit to it? :D

Stumblin Buffler Sez:
"Always be careful an' sniff stuff afore you go and stick it in yer mouth, 'specially at a rondeevoo!!!!"

ugh....I was shooting a woodswalk and ran out of patching material and asked a friend to loan me some. Well, he shot the same thickness patch, but I didn't know that he prelubed with beargrease...I usually just stick to Buffler Spit while on woodswalks, so I did what comes natural...

In July, bear grease that has had time to sit in a dark leather shooting bag for a while tastes pretty awful...we have dubbed the flavor "Monkey Butt".

Not that I am an expert in such things, but it's a good title for the flavor and brings up the right images...

I can't resist, but you've done this to yourself. How do you know what "monkey butt" taste like? :hmm:
 
Also, lung oyster's work pretty good when you have a chest cold or congestion.

Lung Oysters cling to the patch better than garden variety saliva.

:thumbsup:

Uh, Er...I tried using spit...I dunno..it was not at all easy getting the ball down the barrel. I next tried borebutter..that worked a lot easier, still undecided if I will stay with that as I have heard negative comments on it. I know it sounds nuts, but maybe my spit is more on the dry side?? I mean...oh hell...how does one say it....not er...slimey enough? Any ideas if I am doing something wrong, not that I can change by biological makeup or anything....?
 
oil works too, I've used veggie oil once when I was low on spit, and it worked fine.

I bet a can of WD40 would work great, spray it on the patch (just don't lick it :: )(no I have never tasted WD 40, or bear grease; I have tasted Black Powder numerous times though :: :: ).

Wouldn't WD40 kill powder it comes in contact with?

I don't know, perhaps if there is enough on there I'll have to experiment :winking: .
 
The next time out I intend to try some teflon thread tape and some cotton patches soaked in a teflon bearing lubricant.

Otherwise, I stick a strip in my mouth and soak the end.
