    Best bow string wax

    What is the best bow string wax for use on a compound and how often do you apply the wax?

    Thanks in advance!

    I'm really liking the scorpion venom that comes in the round tin. Much softer than other waxes and protects great.

      TTT curious on how often to apply also. I put new strings on this year and want to take care of them.

          I like the Winners Choice wax and the Winners Choice cleaner. I wax my string every other time I shoot and I use the cleaner about once a month.

            I just use the regular bow string wax in the white tube. Says Papes on it but I'm sure its made by Bohning or someone.
            I wax mine when I looks like it needs it, no real set schedule.

              What assists you in determining how often to apply the wax to your bow strings?

                I was told by the bow shop to wax after each time I shoot. I just use the regular ol stuff in the white tube as well. I thought wax was wax. Guess there could be some beneficial adatives though.

                  If your string looks fuzzy it needs waxing.

                    I use the bohning string wax, and I wax my string after everytime I shoot, probably more than neccesary but better safe than sorry

                        The reason I asked, was I have a tube of the Bohning wax and a stick that I got from Buck Nasty when I had a set of strings made. He said that the wax he has was better in that it has some silicone in it and was designed for the newer string materials. I've used both waxes on my string and I can not tell a difference.

                          Venom wax.

                          For wax in a tube, brother showed me this trick: get a small, thin, 4" piece of leather. Wax the string. Fold and pull the leather along the string to heat the wax and melt it into the string. Works every time.

                            2X I just started using the bohning wax and it seems to go on a lot easier than the last stuff I had.
