What bowstring wax does

A bowstring experiences repeated:

  • tension,
  • movement,
  • bending,
  • friction.

A thin layer of wax can help keep the surface fibres together and reduce surface wear.

Regular bowstring maintenance

Wax can help:

  • reduce surface friction,
  • limit drying,
  • keep loose surface fibres together,
  • provide basic protection from normal moisture and dirt.

Wax is not a repair

Bowstring wax is intended for maintenance of a functional bowstring.

It does not repair broken load-bearing fibres or serious structural damage.

When to wax a bowstring

There is no single universal interval.

Check the actual condition of the string.

Wax may be useful when the surface begins to appear:

  • dry,
  • slightly fuzzy,
  • lightly fibrous.

How to apply

Apply a thin layer to a clean and dry bowstring.

Gently work the wax into the surface fibres with your fingers.

Do not over-apply

Too much wax may collect:

  • dust,
  • dirt,
  • abrasive particles.

A thin, even layer is preferable.

Centre serving

Heavy waxing of the centre serving is normally unnecessary.

Keep the area around the arrow nock and string contact surfaces clean.

Storage

Store the wax:

  • dry,
  • clean,
  • away from direct sunlight,
  • away from excessive heat.

It weighs:

12 g

and measures:

6.5 × 1.5 cm

The wax is:

white

and easy to keep in an archery service kit or bow bag.

Why wax a bowstring?

Bowstrings are repeatedly exposed to tension, movement and friction.

Regular inspection and appropriate maintenance can help keep the surface fibres in good condition.

What does bowstring wax do?

A thin wax layer may help:

  • hold surface fibres together,
  • reduce friction,
  • limit drying,
  • protect the surface from normal dirt and moisture.

Wax does not repair damage

Broken fibres, damaged loops or other structural defects require proper inspection and repair or replacement.

Wax should never be used to hide a serious bowstring problem.

When should you wax a bowstring?

Do not wax simply according to a calendar.

Inspect the actual string condition.

A dry or slightly fuzzy surface may indicate that maintenance is appropriate.

Apply a thin layer

Use only a small amount.

Work it gently into the bowstring with your fingers.

Avoid excessive heat

Normal hand warmth is sufficient for routine application.

There is no need to use intense external heat.

  • personal archery equipment,

Why we recommend Erenhill

With Erenhill wax we know and control the formulation.

The three versions also allow the archer to choose a wax consistency better suited to the expected temperature and use.

For that reason, when choosing between the basic SPG product and our own wax, Erenhill is our recommended option.

Traditional archery

Bowstring wax can form part of regular maintenance for traditional bows when appropriate for the particular string material.

Recurve bows

The same principle applies to recurve bowstrings.

Longbows

Longbow strings should also be inspected regularly and maintained according to their condition.

Horse archery

Mounted archery equipment is often exposed to outdoor conditions, dust and frequent use.

Regular bowstring inspection is therefore particularly useful.
