    It occurred to me last night that some might go overboard on this. I
    use vaseline, as I said, but it doesn't matter what the preference
    is - back in the day it was lard. I just wet my finger with it and
    pull it down the stock (careful of edges and things, of course) - the
    coating is pretty much microscopic - I've had the smallest container
    of vaseline you can get for 20 years and we do a fair amount of
    drawing. There's no need to gunk it on, whatever it is.
