There’s a subtle but crucial relationship between a crossbow’s rail and its string—one that often goes unnoticed until wear or friction interrupts performance. Rail Snot Crossbow Rail Lube by .30-06 Outdoors is engineered to maintain that harmony, protecting your string while helping preserve efficiency downrange.


At its core, Rail Snot is a precision-blend lubricant that’s 100% odorless, waterproof, non-toxic, and designed specifically for crossbow rails. When applied correctly—just a light strip along each rail via the applicator—it reduces friction between the moving string and the rail, slowing wear and extending the life of both components. A little goes a long way.
Because the formula is waterproof and scent-free, it doesn’t introduce unwanted odor or react with moisture in field conditions. It also maintains its lubricating properties across varying temperatures and weather, making it dependable year-round. Field testers note that while overapplication can temporarily slow bolt speed, a light, even coat delivers lasting smoothness and consistent performance through repeated shots.
Regular use of Rail Snot helps prevent string fraying, improves rail longevity, and keeps crossbows performing as designed. It’s an easy step that supports accuracy and equipment care—a small detail that makes a noticeable difference. With proper use, Rail Snot acts as a quiet guardian of your crossbow’s reliability, keeping your setup smooth, clean, and ready for the next shot.
