How to Wax A BowString | The Sticks Outfitter | EP. 26

Learn how to wax your bow string with these 3 easy steps! Keeping up your compound bow maintenance is one of the most important, yet neglected tasks for bow hunters, so be sure to keep it clean and waxed throughout the hunting season and during practice.
1. Remove dirt and dirty wax from string
2. Apply wax to the bow string - avoid the servings by the cams and D-loop
3. Work the wax into the bow string using your fingers, applying pressure until you feel the heat melting the wax into the strings.
Leave a comment with any questions and share with your bow hunting friends, so they don't neglect their bows!

Pissing myself laughing at the end, 👍 😂😂

[@TheSticksBrand]

Haha glad you liked it!

[@FranciscoJavierOutdoors]

Dumb question. Do you just wax the rear string or all of them?

[@TheSticksBrand]

All of them that don't have the black on it. The whole video I think shows which strings we hit.

[@FranciscoJavierOutdoors]

The Sticks Outfitter thanks! I completely missed that part haha. When I made that comment I had no idea what serving was haha

[@bradhallum5552]

Hey, i just got my first compound bow a PSE Stinger 3 and was just wondering if you had anything to hel me out. Thanks Tilt

[@MindBodySoulOk]

I would like to see more videos like this but about 30 seconds long.

[@Ylex]

Subscribed to you after just two videos. This is amazing for me who just got into compound bows! The video quality and your skill of learning is 10/10.

[@TheSticksBrand]

Ylex thanks for the compliment and for subscribing! Glad you enjoyed! Welcome to the team. Let us know if/whenever you have any video requests

[@Ylex]

Oh I have tons of requests, but since I havent seen all of your videos yet - I cant say for sure if it already exists. A mini series of videos daily/weekly where you explain common equipment and modifications for beginners. Maybe even show how theyre installed and in use. Stabilisers - types, pricing, purpose, disadvantages D-loops - what are those and how do you make one? Releasers - Pros/cons of the types? Is it a must have for a hobbyist? Cases/bags for bow and/or arrows Different kind of sights - pricing, purpose String dampeners Rangefinders - might be a stretch maybe! General bow maintenance for a beginner Arrow rest - types, purpose, pricing. Or just a "So you got your new Compound bow, what to do now?" I think a lot of beginners would find those useful if you keep the items separated in different videos. Many videos today go through the whole bow and all its parts in one 20 minute cut, which is kind of overwhelming.

[@TheSticksBrand]

Thanks for the recommendations! We've got a few of those on our list to film already and will definitely get to them in the near future.. I agree, those 20 minute videos/sessions are definitely overwhelming. One of the reasons we started this channel. Looking forward to helping you out!

Wish I could help you there! But I don't own one nor have I shot one before... so I don't have much knowledge on Oneida bows.

[@Takuplumbing]

Couple of goofs. Thanks guys!! Keep up the great work.

[@TheSticksBrand]

+Geno V thanks, glad you enjoyed the video!

[@renatugaming5730]

The right amount of wax should be enough that you don't get any residue or pieces of wax on your hands, enough is 2 light strokes along the parts of the string, rub it in with your fingers and avoid using something like leather or something that would not tell you if your string is too hot from the friction, remember, you're trying to melt the wax into the string fibers, not damage the fibers from the friction.

[@TheSticksBrand]

Great tip, thank you for sharing!

[@jarodstevens2710]

awesome!! thanks for the tip about the servings👍 ...(Bow reviews?) or at least would like to Know​ what you guys are shooting?

[@TheSticksBrand]

Hey no problem! I started with a used Bowtech a few years ago and am still using that bow today. I've shot quite a few different bows and have found there isn't just one bow that makes me a better shooter. If there's a mistake, it's always my fault. Choosing the right bow for me depends on the axel-to-axel dimensions, the weight, and how quiet the bow is.. We'll definitely have some bow reviews in the future, just a matter of time! Thanks for the suggestions Jarod.

[@guliancvetanov2207]

Uuum why shouldn't I wax where the nock is ? I mean there is the greatest friction of all the string. And also I was told to wax where the cable guard lies. I haven't heard anything just like what you said in your video.

[@tommygunn63]

Anyone have any opinions on the practical difference between Bohning's Seal-Tite (Green) and Tex-Tite (Red) wax?

[@christianhancock4019]

Goofballs, both of you! Thanks for the videos.

[@TheSticksBrand]

You bet, thanks for watching!

[@Wolf-kr7kn]

do u need certain kind of wax or no

[@TheSticksBrand]

I recommend using Tex-Tite by Bohning.. it's made specifically for synthetic fiber strings, which is most common.. They also sell a Seal-Tite wax which is used for high tensible bow strings. You'll most likely want the wax made for synthetic fiber strings: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000AVE4T/ref=s9_dcacsd_bhz_bw_c_x_1

[@andyL0648]

Nice and funny video. How often should wax be applied? If you got a new bow/string, when do you need to start applying wax?

[@DontInterruptMeCunt]

Every approximately 200 shots I was told

[@thenotoriousnick9544]

😂 wax on wax off! New sub! Love the videos
