Default RE: How often do you wax - your string????


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?
ABSOLUTELY,not only do people overdo it,they can be doing more harm than good.Wax build up causes inconsistancies and really affects accuracy.


The biggest problem I had with my new Alphamax and the Fuse string was there is enough wax in and on the string to last 10 years.It was all I could do to separate the darn thing for a peep without tearing a strand.


I wax MAYBE 3 times a year and that is after abusive use from weather or so forth and I wax VERY LITTLE when I do. I will wax around where the slide rides more than any area on the strings or cables.


I will only use a high quality wax as well,no text tite stuff for me.Dalton makes an excellent wax.
