How often do you use this wax on your strings? Every time you shoot, or every other?third? etc.

When it looks like it's a little bare. Probably every 6 sessions or so.

I wax the strings right after shooting. I figure if I don't, I will get in the habit of not waxing

Thanks guys. I'd been going every third or fourth time. Someone once told me about overwaxing being bad.

Scorpion Venom

Specifically formulated utilizing the latest innovative polymeric compounds, this product enhances string life and performance. Ideal for both re-curve and compound bow strings.

this is what we use on our strings...the best wax I have found...the cool thing is it is a LIQUID wax.works down it in the string
