Anybody ever "grease" your wood arrows for good penetration?

[Bowjangle]

I prefer woodies but understand a smaller diameter aluminum or even smaller carbon would go deeper with the same force. Straight forward physics - icepick versus dowell. Smaller- has a LOT less friction and less "work" -  muscle and/or hog "toughness" to separate.
 Why doesn't anybody -insisting on sticking to woodies and older like me and shooting lighter weight -47-48 lb range - an knowing lots of hogs will be seen- or wanting to hunt hogs- grease up the spine to compensate? The standard answer is everthing smells and it will screw up the hunting,go to a heavier bow.  I know I could shoot more weight,but that raises other problems,one of which is accuracy,with a short drawing fault,and snap shooting, another is sholder problems. I'm 67 years old.
 Are there some non-smelling choices we could use and does anybody here do that?

Charles, I've always believed that blood makes a fine lubricant.

Paste wax can help, but hogs have plenty of fat to pass through and blood does slick up a shaft. I don't worry about the smell of my arrows, they are going to smell the archer first if they are down wind. Good Hunting Chas!

I have always waxed my hunting arrows with car wax.It quietens them on the draw and allows easy clean up.I am sure it aids in penitration as well on some shots.

I lubricate with deer tallow, on the spot

I use Pledge on my woodies but that is mainly for pulling them out of targets.  I dont really use it to aid in penetration on animals.

There was a recent discussion on here and someone mentioned something called "Sail-Kote".  Apparently it's a spray on marine product that is slick as all get out.  I've been meaning to track some down and try it but have not gotten it done yet.  Supposed to be available at marine or boating type stores.

I've also heard of spraying "Pam" anti-stick cooking spray on arrows for the same reason.

One of the Wensel brothers said he always uses a wax or polish of some sort on his arrows to lessen friction. I don't think it can hurt.

Buffing shafts with 0000 steel wool can help a lot.In Masters of the Bare Bow,Gene Wensel mentions that wipes his shafts down with a tire protectant gel.I believe the brand he showed was Renegade.It is stuff that you put on car tires to make them look new.I'm guessing a silicone product? Anyway,he wipes it on and sets them aside to dry and repeats every 2 weeks during hunting season.He says it aids in penetration,pulling out of targets and makes them come off the bow slicker.

I tried it once but I couldn't pull them out of my quiver.

The last thing I want on my hands during a hunt is grease!!!!
