I like to wax my bow string after shooting. Then if I haven' t touched the bow for a couple of days I will wax it just to let it know I still am thinking of it. I might wax a bit much but I have been told that you can' t over wax a string so I try to keep it fresh on the string. I also want to make sure that if mother nature wants to start raining on me that I don' t have to worry about water getting in the string. Then again when I get home I will make sure the string is dry and wax it again.
