If I had a high end anything I would not use it. Although i have admit that i do not get much slime on my bow. Now me yes. Some how i take better care of my bowfishing bow (which was given to me). Now days recurves are pretty cheap to come by. In a few weeks there will be yard sales galore. Just make sure that it is smooth and does not stack. As Kendall he is the recurve gure.
