Default Waxing Strings

Everybody is used to waxing their strings while they are on the bow/crossbow! But how many people actually take the string off and wax it like your giving it a message to get it down on all the strands of the string? It does make a difference!!

The only time I wax a string off the bow is when I'm making it.On the bow,I use a piece of leather and rub the wax into the string

do you cut your serving off and re-serve too??

if not, i see no point taking off your strings and cables to wax them...all youd be doing is waxing end serving...

I see no point in taking the string off the bow to wax it. You can still "message" it into all the fibers without removing it

Yeah I make sure I wax my bow string and cable up real good. Every few days or so and it does keep it in great condition!

I do the same. I will spend 10 minutes or so after shooting and take care of my string. Even if I only shot 4 or 5 times.
