How often should I wax the bow string?

[1turkeykiller]

Does this need done every couple months, once a year, how often? ALso, How long will a string typically last before it needs replaced?

I try to wax mine every month or so,apply and
then take a piece of leather and melt it in!![8D]

[mattisbob]

i wax my string once a month or after a lot of shots

I wax mine every week during the summer (when I shoot a lot) or after hunting during the cold weather or rain, I like to a re-apply it to the string, I would rather keep it in good shape and all!

Martin recommends waxing every time you shoot. Seems like that's excessive but I try to follow their advice.

[selway]

i wax everytime i shoot.

[MrBill]

I wax mine every week during the shooting months of new york
maybe more if needed

BELIEVE IT OR NOT I WAX MY STRING ALMOST AFTER EVERYTIME I SHOOT IT WHICH IS QUITE A BIT , AND MY STRING WILL LAST TWICE AS LONG AS MY BUDDY'S, I CAN USUALLY GET ABOUT 2 YEARS OUT OF A STRING AND MY BUDDY ABOUT A YEAR, AND WE PRETTY MUCH SHOOT ABOUT THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME.
