👉 The bow fluid, also known as bowstring fluid or lubricant, is a specialized lubricant designed for use in bowstrings, particularly in archery. It serves multiple purposes: reducing friction between the bowstring and the bow's limbs, minimizing wear and tear on both components, and ensuring smooth, consistent arrow release. Typically composed of silicone-based compounds, the fluid forms a thin, protective layer that enhances arrow flight stability and accuracy. Its viscosity and composition are carefully engineered to match the specific bowstring material, optimizing performance across various archery conditions.
