Oh, I don't know about that. I think too many guys overdo it. I too am one of those guys that hardly ever wax a string. Mine never get any fuzzies or anything. I buy good quality aftermarket strings every two years or about 10,000 shots. If during that time they don't show any wear, don't break and are stable enough that the bow never changes it's tune then what is the point?

I like to compare it to changing oil in cars. I once had a Citgo engineer tell me that changing oil every 3000 miles was a complete waste of oil and money. Just propaganda to make the oil companies money. He recommended changing the filter every 5000 miles and add a quart of oil. Then change everything at 10,000 miles. He said that oil does not lose it's properties. It just gets dirty. And this coming from a guy who's job it was to sell my company lubricants.

I think the same psychology could be applied to bow strings.
