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.

Our recommended wax – Erenhill
For regular bowstring care, our preferred choice is our own Erenhill natural bowstring wax.
Natural Beeswax Bowstring Wax | Erenhill
It is made in three clearly defined formulations.
Spring–Autumn / Indoor
85% beeswax + 15% goat fat
Winter
70% beeswax + 30% goat fat
Traditional year-round
100% beeswax
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.
