Natural Bowstring Wax with Beeswax – Erenhill
Regular bowstring care is an important part of maintaining archery equipment.
The Natural Bowstring Wax – Erenhill range uses natural beeswax in three different formulations designed for different temperatures and preferences.
Why wax a bowstring?
Bowstring fibres repeatedly stretch, move and rub against each other during shooting.
A light wax layer can help keep surface fibres together, reduce fraying and provide a protective surface against ordinary dirt and moisture.
85/15 for Spring to Autumn
The 85/15 version contains:
85% beeswax and 15% goat fat.
It is the general-purpose option for moderate temperatures, indoor shooting and most of the regular season.
70/30 Winter Version
The winter blend contains:
70% beeswax and 30% goat fat.
The higher fat content keeps the mixture softer and easier to apply in colder conditions.
100% Traditional Beeswax
The third option contains pure natural beeswax with no added goat fat.
It is the hardest of the three versions and is intended for archers who prefer a traditional simple formulation.
How to apply bowstring wax
Inspect the string before waxing.
Apply a small amount along the fibres and work it in gently using finger warmth.
The goal is a thin, even layer rather than a thick coating.
Too much wax is unnecessary
Excess wax can trap dust and dirt and create unwanted build-up.
Apply only as much as the string actually needs.
Dacron bowstrings
The wax can be used on appropriate Dacron strings.
For specialised modern string materials, always follow the maintenance recommendations for that particular material.
Horsebow and horseback archery
Horsebow strings used outdoors may be exposed to dust, sweat, moisture and frequent handling.
Regular inspection and light waxing can form part of normal equipment maintenance.
Speed shooting
Fast and repeated shooting places significant mechanical demand on the bowstring.
Wax can support regular maintenance, but it does not replace inspection or replacement of damaged fibres.
Leather accessories
The product may also be used on selected smooth leather accessories.
Always test a small hidden area first because beeswax and goat fat may darken or alter some leathers.
Avoid direct flame
Use hand warmth or mild indirect heat to soften harder wax.
Do not use a lighter or direct flame on the bowstring.
