The best bowstring wax is made from the simplest of compounds: Beeswax. Simple. Natural. And, of course, of very high quality.

Here at The Carolina Bee Company, we prefer traditional archery. Traditional archery requires a traditional wax. But, it works great with compound bowstrings as well.

How to use:

• Push on the bottom plunger until maybe a quarter inch of wax is exposed.
• Hold the tube so that your index finger maintains pressure on the plunger to keep the wax protruding.
• Run the wax up and down your bowstring until wax is visible or the string is "tacky".
  • I usually do it with the bow strung.
  • I do this with a quick motion that softens the beeswax a bit (though it is "just" soft enough anyway).
  • Some folks avoid waxing the serving string much. Others wax it right along with everything else (I do).
• Allow the wax to fall back into the tube and put the cap back on (store bowstring wax somewhere out of the sun).
• Work the wax into the string with your fingers, and smooth it when you are done.
  • I do this with the bow unstrung or, if I am in a hurry, I leave the bow strung.
• Reapply as needed:
  • Weekly if you shoot often.
  • Prior to shooting, if wet weather is expected.
