A wipe over with a lightly oiled rag is all that is needed. A SMALL amount of lithium grease or copperkote on the cocking cam does no harm. Excess oil, gumming oils, and grease should NEVER be used...

Remember those two crazy cockies down south who found two stags locked up in a fence, and were videoed manhandling them out until they were free? 3 or 4 years ago I'm guessing. Mad as hatters.
