I would think oil would be spraying everywhere every time you pulled the trigger.

I personly would not want oil on my serving. Deffinitly not where the claws contact the string. Sounds like an accident waiting to happen.jmo
I am a hunter and proud of it.

The best stuff for the rail goes on dry and is super slick.
I use some bicycle chain teflon lube that sprays on and dries instantly, then rub it into the rail. I have also used premium car wax and it does a great job.
The problem with oils is they collect dirt and you end up with a messy substance that can actually do damage to your bow.

I'd rather wear out than rust out.

Re: Has any one tried this
The oil will sofen the string material over time & it will become easy to break. Like while you have it cocked & loaded huntin!
Re: Has any one tried this
Most modern day materials come from Polyethelene. I might be wrong but I doubt it will affect the integrity of the string or serving material. BCY uses a solvent based dye so possibly the stuff you are using may strip the colour. I think if you are determined to use gun oil you should call BCY and ask them. 860-632-7115
BTW, there is a whack of different gun oils. Some with solvents, some without. Better read the ingredients before calling BCY.
