String wax

[tracker]

kfd82 I had the same problem with a PSE I had. I just finally called and they gave me all the info I needed. You could try doing that if you really wanted the info on your bow.

After I wax my bowstring I get a blowdryer and blow warm air over the string to help the wax penitrat the string. I was told this works good. I hope Im doing the wright thing..

Well I'm kinda embarassed to admit this but "I" dont know for sure that it is an Omni. Thats what I was told by the seller. I HAVE NO REASON TO DOUBT HIM and am not saying that. Just that there is no name on the bow except Fred Bear on the limbs. I have looked all over this thing and cant find a name. I've had it since july and love it. I shoot it every day when I'm home. Just figured it was time for some maint. We have a bow shop in town but I didnt get a real friendly feeling the two times I was in there. I felt like they didnt want to help me because I didnt buy a bow from them. Guess I need to find the next closest one to me.

rubbing wax in with a leather tab can sometimes cause the inner part of the string to get hot, and fray inner strands, weakening the string. rubbing it in with your fingers keeps it from getting too hot and causing damage.

This is the same advice I've read from a knowledgeable string maker (aka bucknasty).

I just wax when I get around to it and don't go overboard.
