Default RE: Waxing trad string

ORIGINAL: BobCo19-65

If you have a flemish twist, you want to keep a good coat of wax on the twisted part under the loop.
I have heard of guys dipping the end of their strings in solution to actually remove the wax in this area. Supposively, this is the area where most of the noise comes from in recurves and by removing all of the wax, it will quiet the bow. I have heard that wax is not needed in this area anyway. I've never tried it myself.

Chad?????
Ive never done it. Id be afraid too. Never had any problem with noise. Shot them waxed up like this for over 20+ years.
